Wrong Things

There’s a reason why things don’t work out
You’ve lost sight of yourself, caught up in the doubt

You’re chasing something that isn’t for you
You’re busying yourself with the wrong things
Just looking for something to do

Instead of searching for meaning in life
You’re working so hard for a check
And it’s just bringing you strife

Chasing the good old American Dream
Someday I’ll get there, someday I will…
Meanwhile you keep rowing upstream
And running up hill

Instead of seeking what the failure is saying
You keep working harder, faster, til you are defeated
You don’t seem to see it’s the wrong role you’re playing

Trying to fit yourself into something you’re not
Feeling like you’re not enough, like you can’t succeed
Like others are better, but you just weren’t taught
Where to look for the answers and find what you seek

I desire to show you, just open your eyes
Life isn’t about, just grinding until you die
It’s about learning and growing 
Serving each other and the most high

We’ve lost sight of everything
This culture’s a mess
The secret is not about MORE, but less!
