9 to 5er chasing BART daily
sapped energy parked on couch nightly
But money is good life is great
I ain't going hungry roof is sturdy
gets to travel some gets to shop some
gets to go out and waste money some
My future plans big
wanna go to business school
gonna hustle harder make more dough
But what about my hungry heart?
More more I want more
I don't know what it is that I want
I want some meaning to my life
some purpose to my getting up
every morning at 6am
drinking coffee checking emails
paying bills surfing the net
getting ready for work hopping on BART
on my cellphone on my IPod
on my computer on my office phone
always on the run always busy in this urban life
But...
Grateful to have my lovely companions beside me
looking forward to having kids of my own
teaching them all I learned and haven't learned
watching them live make mistakes
go through heartaches and heartbreaks
I am anticipating years ahead
traveling sharing laughters sharing tears
talking over food and wine
of lives we have shared of lives we will share
so what is meaning of life I ask
What makes my blood pump harder
what puts a big smile on my face
what makes me jump out of bed in the morning
shouting "Hello World, Here I come!"
That drive that love that energy that smile
that happiness that generosity that passion
that motivation that creativity
That must be the meaning of life.
It's a trip - I mentioned your bubbles out to sea moment on my blog. I wish I had gotten a pic of me blowing bubbles from my night, but maybe I will reenact it. Your writing and thoughts are always inspiring.
