I wake up to a grinding day
In a grinding week, in a grinding month
In a grinding year, grinding away
The daily grind is grinding me
I just go to work then I go back home
And I try to sleep and I go to work again
I'm waiting for my life to begin
Waiting for something to believe in
My daydream, it was just so real
There I am on stage singing in my band
For some crazy fans, I'm as tough as steel
And that is what I thought was real
It's amazing how you can fool yourself
And believe these things when you dread each day
I'm waiting for my life to begin
Waiting for something to believe in
Grinding on through restless sleep
Where my mind repeats, repeats
Grinding on and on and on
Where has my precious life gone?
Grinding away
Grinding all my life away
Grinding away
I must start my life today
I'm waiting for my life to begin
Waiting for something to believe in
I'm waiting for my life to begin
