Paying Dues
Verse 1

Thank you for giving me all that I have /
Everything in my life, every answer /
I heard there calling us back / “when”
I heard them laughing /
Adding up the lump sum living in a kingdom /
Watching my kid grow slowly as I dance /
In the twilight of night with my wife by my right /
What a righteous feeling time for the healing /
And as I write this down /
I’m thinking of the whole world spinning around /
Counter clockwise lives /
Watch out for the rip curl we keep faith in this hard world /

Chorus

You got a vision, set a goal you have to keep on going /
Stick to a plan, find routine now that path is chosen /
Throughout our lives where going to climb /
Until we finally make it/ 2x

Verse 2

Keep climbing I guess that’s what they said /
It’s up hill for the rest of our lives /
Since we left our beds / Walking up to the stairs /
Ready to face this / stare at the infinite light in the spaces /
In-between here and now / The holy circuit /
See them smirking five dollars at the circus /
We all bounded by blood in our bones /
Have a vision in our hearts some write them in poems /

Chorus

You got a vision, set a goal you have to keep on going /
Stick to a plan, find routine now that path is chosen /
Throughout our lives where going to climb /
Until we finally make it/ 2x


Verse 3

Who did the choosing depends on who’s shoes you’re in /
We’re on the ride of our life, so let’s begin /
As the revolution comes to an end /
We feel the change /
And all those times we’ve spent with our friends /
They tend to blend / In a mixing pot of such and such /
Who said it wasn’t what it was I know you saw it /
We all alive in this concrete forest /
So many different people don’t be upset /
If I forget your name its bigger then that anyway /
I’m talking Gigantic and you and I are only one /
Little huge tiny piece to the whole meaning /
Chorus

You got a vision, set a goal you have to keep on going /
Stick to a plan, find routine now that path is chosen /
Throughout our lives where going to climb /
Until we finally make it/ 2x
