(Verse 1)
Staring at the clock, another day begins,
Same old routine, where do I fit in?
Coffee stains and papers piled high,
Counting down the minutes, just waiting to fly.
(Chorus)
But I’m stuck in this cage, can’t break away,
Chasing dreams, but they fade, day by day.
Oh, I want to soar, I want to scream,
But I'm lost in the grind, lost in this dream.
(Verse 2)
Suit and tie, they tell me to conform,
But inside I'm raging, calling for a storm.
Sketches of a life where I’m truly free,
Trapped behind this desk, who am I meant to be?
(Chorus)
But I’m stuck in this cage, can’t break away,
Chasing dreams, but they fade, day by day.
Oh, I want to soar, I want to scream,
But I'm lost in the grind, lost in this dream.
(Bridge)
Whispers from my heart, they echo in the void,
Telling me I’m wasting, the life I'm meant to enjoy.
But fear ties my hands, make it hard to breathe,
Living for tomorrow, while my soul starts to grieve.
(Verse 3)
One day this spark will light the fire,
I’ll push through the walls that conspire.
With courage as my guide, I’ll make my way,
Leave behind this shell, embrace a brand new day.
(Chorus)
And I’ll break from this cage, I’ll find the way,
Chasing dreams, I won't fade, come what may.
Oh, I’ll learn to soar, I’ll finally scream,
No longer lost in the grind, I’ll follow my dream.
(Outro)
Staring at the stars, I can finally see,
The path to my future, and who I'm meant to be.
No more monotony, I've found my peace,
In the freedom of my dreams, my soul's release.
