To work all day
and work all night
To work all day
and never see the light

Is that real life?
Calling me home
Is that real life?
Calling me away

I just work and stress and keep my emotions
running throughout the day
Gotta keep my composure
or risk more strife

Honestly this nights and days just seem so rough
And I count my blessings this will turn out to be a bluff
And if not I'll strive on, pushing through the day
like my fathers before me
I keep slaving away

There is a silver lining
coming my way
But I cannot see it
through the pain
I've felt today

If home is where your heart is
then my heart is on the road
But I can't go home
till my work is through

There is a silver lining
over the horizon
But I can't see it
over these black skies

When will I be home?
When will I be home?
When will I be home?
I do not know...
