Blinding alarm, hit snooze again Sunlight creeping through the blinds Still dreaming of the weekend glow But the clock keeps pushing time Coffee cup and heavy eyes Whisper to myself, “Just try” Work on a Monday morning Feels like the world is yawning Dragging my feet through the start of the week But I’m still here, still moving Work on a Monday morning Heart says, “Go,” though the mood is warning One breath, one step, I keep going Work on a Monday morning Crowded train, no room to breathe Same old ties and tired sleeves But I’ve got music in my ears To drown the doubt and shift the gears No one sees the fight inside But I show up, and I survive Work on a Monday morning Feels like the world is storming But somehow I find the strength to begin Again, again, keep showing Work on a Monday morning A little light through the routine forming I rise, I try, I keep going Work on a Monday morning Not every dream comes wrapped in gold Sometimes it’s just not losing hold And though the sky is clouded gray I’ve made it through another day Work on a Monday morning With sleepy hope still dawning In the small things, I find my way One quiet win to start the day Work on a Monday morning The rhythm slow, but I’m still forming The life I want, step by step Work on a Monday morning
