We ran along without a plan
To doom ourselves financially
The days and months and year flew by
Our poorness grew substantially
We buggered off without a clue
To free ourselves of prison chains
The freedom like fresh breaths of air
Our losses seeming more like gains
We sallied forth without a thought
To give ourselves a fighting chance
The guts to take less traveled roads
Our lives a candid tragic dance
We settled down without a choice
To find ourselves inside a dream
The wisdom and the love we saved
Our richness like a raucous scream
