Commuter
Journey Through Life: The Universal Commute
Lyrics
Long before the sun awakes
Reference to the early hours before sunrise
People are on their way
People begin their journeys
Traveling far and wide they go
Traveling extensively
Some on time some are late
Varying punctuality in reaching their destinations
Through every season every date
Regardless of time or season, progress is evident
You'll see them build and grow
Observing development and advancement
City and country
Contrast between urban and rural areas
Statewide and county
References to different geographical regions
Through fields of green and lights aglow
Depiction of landscapes, both natural and artificial
Morning and evening
Morning and evening routines
While children are dreaming
Parents working while children sleep
Their parents wish the hours go slow
Desire for time to pass slowly, wanting to cherish moments
Cause they know
Awareness of the impact of time passing
The world makes a commuter of us all
Life's demands make everyone a commuter
Breakfast still on their plates
Unfinished tasks or routines
Say goodbye an 8 hour day
End of a typical workday
Hope the hours will flow
Wishing for time to pass smoothly
Same street same highway
Repetitive daily routes
Repeat it every week
Consistent weekly patterns
Know it with your eyes closed
Familiarity with the journey
City and country
Same contrast between urban and rural areas
Statewide and county
Reiteration of geographical differences
Through fields of green and lights aglow
Continued depiction of varied landscapes
Morning and evening
Similar morning and evening routines
While children are dreaming
Parents working while children sleep
Their parents wish the hours go slow
Desire for time to pass slowly, wanting to cherish moments
Cause they know
Realization of the impact of time passing
The world makes a commuter of us all
Life's demands make everyone a commuter
Oh oh
Wanna quit and run
Desire to abandon responsibilities and escape
Oh oh
Desire to leave and have leisure
Leave and just have fun
Recognition of financial necessity
But we all need the funds
Waiting for a break due to financial obligations
So we just wait for a vacation
City and country
Same contrast between urban and rural areas
Statewide and county
Reiteration of geographical differences
Through fields of green and lights aglow
Continued depiction of varied landscapes
Morning and evening
Similar morning and evening routines
While children are dreaming
Parents working while children sleep
Their parents wish the hours go slow
Desire for time to pass slowly, wanting to cherish moments
Cause they know
Realization of the impact of time passing
The world makes a commuter of us all
Life's demands make everyone a commuter
