I have a safe life
We all want safe
Get a little job
Pay a little bill
With just a little paycheck
That will never be enough to buy
Freedom

We play at freedom
Convinced that we have no chains
Only to find in the quiet moments
That life is chains
And that is the secret
We can never speak

If we utter the truth
It would break us
So we live little lives
And teach our children to be little
When the whole point was to be big

The whole point was
There was no point
The answer to life is
To be life
To be so big that there is no room for anything else

Not many people can do that
People are content to be small
Content with just enough
