when day is through

I work all day

I sleep all night

and nothing ever

works out right

so I will dream

as best I can

and hope someday

I'll understand

          I will try and try and try

          I will always question why

          I will do what I will do

          to be at peace when day is through

everything

will turn out all right

that's what I say

in the middle of the night

but come the day

it's a different song

my eyes can't see

anything but wrong

          I will pray and I will dream

          that my conscience can be clean

          I will do what I will do

          to be at peace when day is through

lately I don't

feel ashamed

I don't see myself

as the one to blame

it's a stubborn fact

you know it's true

the rest of it

is up to you

          I will be who I will be

          running toward my destiny

          I will do what I will do

          to be at peace when day is through
