Gloriously Mundane ft. Nick Schrader Lyrics

There's work to do and money to earn and people to see

The balancing act is a twenty-four-hour forgery

Seven days cannot contain just how weak I feel

Sundays offer hope that every Monday aims to steal

Fiction only makes it worse

We live in dreams and feed the curse

But when your dollar lets you down

True riches can be found

It takes different kinds of glories

To tell our full stories

The special and repetitive

The debts we earn, rewards we give

Don't die for your wages just to live

There's work to do and joy to be shared and people to see

The balancing act is a labor of love in delivery

Necessary evils can be voluntary goods

When we steal back our privilege from self-imposing "should"s

Real life happens when we see

Into our shared humanity

And drop the dressed up masks we wear

We don't have to be scared

It takes different kinds of glories

To tell our full stories

The special and repetitive

The debts we earn, rewards we give

Don't die for your wages just to live

It takes different kinds of glories

To tell our full stories

The special and repetitive

The joy we get, the love we give

Don't die for your wages just to live

It could all drive you insane

Till you see it's gloriously mundane
