Personal Revolution (Lyrics & Music by Steve Laurie: 7/21/03)

All I really know is the box I live in
Staring at the walls and staring up at the ceiling
Listen to the cars all driving by
I wonder why I stay when everybody else is leaving
I think that I’m going outta my mind
There’s got to be something more to find

Take a look around all over the town
I wonder if everyone else is just going through the motions
So absorbed by the daily routine
The task’s unfinished because its got no purpose
I think that I’m going outta my mind
There’s got to be something more to find

Lord am I alright? Cause I feel like I might
Be losing this fight for my life

Everybody says you should chase your dreams
Well I wonder how many people really get to live them
Sucked up by my circumstances
I wonder if I’ve really got any more chances
I think that I’m going outta my mind
There’s got to be something more to find

All I wanna do is find some meaning
End my day feeling like I made a contribution
I think I’ve slumbered long enough
It’s time to wake up for my personal revolution
So I don’t go right outta my mind
I know there’s got to be more to find

Lord please shine some light, for my day seems like night
Oh if only I might do things right

Make me a piece of the solution, stir me up through a personal revolution
Make me a part of the solution, You know I need a personal revolution
