[G O L D D I G G ER]

what do i do for a living?
i dig for gold
i mine for hours
scraping away at the stone

and when i find it
i’ll burst out into tears
for all my work has been redeemed
with the sweet taste of metal

on some days it’s worse
management says not to overwork yourself
so then i dig secretely
always on the lookout for gold

and when i hit an ore
i’ll dig deeper and deeper
scraping it off the walls and filling my pockets
but i won’t be satisfied

i come back day after day
to fulfill my golden dream
of wealth and freedom
always scraping, mining, hoping, finding

eventually the minerals will run out
that’s the day i lay down my work
but will i ever stop looking?

will i ever?
