...and Again

By the light of the morning
You rise from your sleep in the dark
Stare at yourself in the mirror
And then you embark
Put your nose to the grindstone
You try not to moan, when you feel pain
Trying to get ahead, work 'til you're nearly dead
But it's all in vain.

'Cause just when the sun seems to shine on you
The clouds come in
But you will not retreat, you back on your feet
And do it again...
...and again...
...and again

Most of the faces are just empty places
In the push and shove
You can spend your whole lifetime
In search of the rhyme and rhythm of love
And everything you do, it impresses a few
But not enough
For all of your effort, you're left with just hurt
Life is so tough
'Cause just when things are lookin' up
It all caves in
But you've no fear of dying
you just keep trying again...
...and again...
...and again

Again you say,
"Why must I suffer this pain, everyday?"
Again, you pray for strength from above
To guide you, in your way
But again you find that it's you against the world
And again you watch as your whole life unfurls

But through it all, you see a light that greets you
At the end
And you will wake up tomorrow
And do it again...
...and again
