I Get Out of Breath

From the first cry of a babe

'Til the age of twenty-five

I searched my soul to find myself

But I'm still unrecognized

One-way streets, walls of concrete

Two restless feet's all I've got

Oh Lord, I'm so afraid

A third of my life is shot

And I get out of breath

Watching the world spin so fast

My future becomes my past

My mind gets hung so bad

That I get out of breath

It's all right for the successful

To tell you "Take your time

Have patience, understanding"

While the suicide rates climb

I work all day to try and pay back

Debts that won't go down

I can't say that I'm lost

No, I just ain't been found

And I get out of breath

Watching the world spin so fast

My future becomes my past

My mind gets hung so bad

That I get out of breath

People spend more time

Asking forgiveness than being good

Everyone's out stealing

Or home planning how they could

Double standards make good band aids

That strip us of our pride

Our morals have decayed, yeah

And this I cannot bide

And I get out of breath

Watching the world spin so fast

My future becomes my past

My life gets hung so bad

That I get out of breath
