Is This All There Is?
6 am I start my day
Working like some dog
To earn my pay
Never seem to satisfy
The big boss man
And I wonder why
Looking back it seems to me
Had to pay the price
For the sacrifice
And all I can do is ask why
As I cry out to the midnight sky
Is this all there is
I can't believe
That there isn't more
In store for me
Is this all there is
It just ain't right
The good life has just
Passed me by
Is this all there is
Is this all there is
8 PM I'm waiting for
The phone to ring
On a Friday night
All my friends said he's no good
And I hate to say it
But I think they're right
Looking back it seems to me
Had to pay the price
For the compromise
And all I can do is ask why
As I cry out to the midnight sky
Is this all there is
I can't believe
That there isn't more
In store for me
Is this all there is
Just photographs
And memories
Of a life long passed
Is this all there is
Is this all there is
2 am I'm driving down
A lonely stretch
Of open road
See the curve come up ahead
Going way to fast
No time to slow
Looking back it seems to me
Had to pay the price
For the sacrifice
And all I can do is ask why
As I cry out to the midnight sky
Is this all there is
I can't believe
That there isn't more
In store for me
Is this all there is
I've been let down
Not a second thought
As I hit the ground
Is this all there is
Is this all there is
Oh, please don't let this be
All there is
