WORKIN' ON OK

ON WEEKDAYS I WAKE UP THE RAT RACE STARTS CALLING
EVEN THOUGH THE SUNS HIGH UP AND SHINING SO BRIGHT
IT JUST SEEMS LIKE SOMEDAYS I'M LACKING ANY SPARK
ON THOSE DAYS I STRUGGLE TO KEEP IT ALL IN SIGHT
I'M NOT THE KIND WHO BURIES THEIR HEAD IN THE SAND
WHEN PUSH COMES TO SHOVE I'LL STAND TALL READY TO FIGHT

OH YEH!

(CHORUS)

I'M WORKIN'
WORKIN'
WORKIN' ON OK
LITTLE BY LITTLE
FROM DAY TO DAY
I'M WORKIN'
WORKIN'
WORKIN' ON OK
SLOWLY BUT SURELY
FINDING MY WAY
I'M WORKIN'
WORKIN'
WORKIN' ON OK
THINGS WILL GET BETTER
I HOPE AND PRAY

THE HUMDRUM WAYS OF LIFE CAN SOMETIMES GET ME DOWN
SO NOW AND THEN I DAYDREAM HIGH UP ON CLOUD NINE
JUST FOR A WHILE I GET THE LIFE I WANT TO LEAD
TILL THAT MONKEY ON MY BACK SHOUTS GET BACK IN LINE
I CAN'T WAIT TILL THE DAY WHEN HE'S OUT OF MY FACE
ONLY THEN THE LIFE I SEEK WILL TRULY BE MINE

TILL THEN!

(CHORUS)

I WON'T TAKE THE BACK SEAT
I WON'T ACCEPT DEFEAT
I WILL STAND UP AND COMPETE
I WILL LAND ON MY FEET

(SOLO)

NOW I KNOW I'M NOT ALONE IN FEELING THIS WAY
EVERY SINGLE ONE OF US HAS OUR CROSS TO BEAR
THOUGH NO MATTER WHO WE ARE OR WHAT WE DO IN LIFE
THIS DESIRE FOR FREEDOM IS SOMETHING ELSE WE SHARE
WE'VE ALL SPENT TO MUCH PRECIOUS TIME LICKING OUR WOUNDS
WE ALL SEEK A LIFE THAT HAS A LITTLE MORE FLAIR

SO NOW! (CHORUS)

WE'RE WORKIN'
WORKIN'
WORKIN' ON OK
LITTLE BY LITTLE
FROM DAY TO DAY
WE'RE WORKIN'
WORKIN'
WORKIN' ON OK
SLOWLY BUT SURELY
FINDING OUR WAY
WE'RE WORKIN'
WORKIN'
WORKIN' ON OK
THINGS WILL GET BETTER
WE HOPE AND PRAY

WORKIN'
WORKIN'
WORKIN' ON OK

(REPEAT TILL FADE)
