Break Even
Dancing Through Life's Ups and Downs: Break Even by In the Valley Below
Lyrics
Once rich, once poor
Once experiencing wealth, once experiencing poverty
We dance
We engage in a dance
across the floor
We move gracefully across the floor
One shot
A single opportunity
Shot up
Taken advantage of, exploited
One notch on the wall
One mark or achievement on display
How long, how long
Questioning the duration, asking how long
We won, come on, how long
We have succeeded, urging to continue, questioning the time it will take
How far we’ve come
Reflecting on the progress made
We might break even
We might achieve a balance or reach a point of equilibrium
My dear
An affectionate term, expressing intimacy
10 years
A decade of time
Where do we go from here
Contemplating the future direction
One day, by day, by day
Emphasizing the gradual progression of time
the bricks are laid
The foundation is being built day by day
How long, how long
Questioning the duration again, asking how long
We won, come on, how long
We have succeeded, urging to continue, questioning the time it will take (repeated)
How far we’ve come
Reflecting on the progress made (repeated)
We might break even
We might achieve a balance or reach a point of equilibrium (repeated)
