Facing Life's Dilemmas: Kris Gruen's Anthem of Choices
Lyrics
She says…
Expressing a female perspective
We’re working so hard making minimum wages
Highlighting the challenges of earning minimum wages
preaching to the choir from the same old stages
Criticizing the repetition of preaching to an already convinced audience
all I do is feed the rich hypocrites, I need to switch
Feeling burdened by supporting wealthy hypocrites, expressing a desire for change
how I give and how I live, there’s no time for talking
Emphasizing a busy lifestyle with no time for conversation, focusing on actions
only time for walking
Prioritizing action over words, possibly indicating a need for change
I don’t blame you my lover
Acknowledging the partner without assigning blame
we have to trust in each other
Stressing the importance of mutual trust in the relationship
to face the music together
Encouraging facing challenges together as a couple
I said…
Shifting to the speaker's perspective
We’ve made it this far, free from so many cages
Reflecting on progress made and freedom achieved
the kids can see the stars , they’ll be strong and courageous
Positive outlook for the future generation, emphasizing strength and courage
everybody has to serve someone, it’s something I’ve learned
Acknowledging the universal obligation to serve someone
who you choose is up to you, this is how we begin
Empowering choice in relationships, a new beginning
to let it all in
Opening up to experiences and emotions
And it’s high-time now for you and me to figure out how the price is paid
Calling attention to the need to understand the cost of commitments
for the promise we made
Reflecting on the time for evaluating and comprehending the sacrifices made
Can we find out now-- can we write it down-- how the price is paid
Pose questions about understanding and documenting the cost of commitments
for the promise we made?
Reiterating the inquiry into comprehending the cost of commitments
