lyrics

Break of the Day © Dawn Barrington 2014

Verse 1
Some would say life was a breeze
They move through the day with no one to please
They wake morning always on time
And function to the rules of all mankind

Chorus #1
They get out of bed it’s said
Without that thought of dread
At the break of each day
Yeah They get out of bed it’s said
Without that thought of dread
At the break of each da-a-a-a-a-y
a-a-a-a--a--a---a--y-y-y-y-y--y-y
B - r - e - a - k of each d-a-y

Verse 2
You will know when you see one
Eyes all glazed, blank look on their face
Tis their skill to suppress their faith
Sometimes smiling the truth, not a trace

Chorus #2
They have a life plan, the finances are sorted
The kids all have roles, destinations contorted
Free will is a noun not something you do
The funeral is booked, just the date is askew

Verse 3
They’re children are sorting their daily affairs
Worn out faces stay strong, not aware
Of the pain they ignored from those before
Numbed by the facts written on their door

Chorus #1
