In A Day
(Written by Marlon Chaplin)

I awoke
As a child
At 8 am

Brushed my teeth
Grabbed my bag
The day began

By ten
First kiss and feeling proud

By noon
I’m in with the “in” crowd

Lunch bell rings
I’m seventeen
Innocent and free

Two o’clock rolls around
And I know I’m blessed

Then why oh, why at twenty five
Do I feel so depressed?

Can’t slow down or
Go on much longer
Light-speed but I’m still asleep (or “not awake”)

School bell rings
At thirty three
The world’s weight
Has a crush on me

Dusk falls
Fifty-six and I’m frayin’ at the seams
I think I thought too much about
Others’ opinion of me

I close my eyes
The night sets in
Day’s over before it begins

Alarm bell rings
It’s 8 am
I am a child again

And on and on
And on and on
We go round and round

Where it stops
Nobody knows
’Til the ride comes down

On and on
On and on
Spin round and round

When it stops
Nobody knows
Until the ride comes down
