Modesty

What is it in life that makes us feel that it is impossible to walk away?
Business holds people like hostages, Locked away in bedrooms and offices
A place to rest. A mouth to feed
Peoples misconceptions of that it means to be free
I'm leaving it all. I'm starting to see. There's something to be said for living modestly
We had it all, everything. Soon the days turn into the years
A quick fix has become a career. Think back to your happiest days
Back when you didn't have a single cent. Son, don't be like me
Don't you make the same mistake. Go get your education, find a job and play it safe
Sorry dad but I'm off to find a better way
There's more to happiness than chasing paper painted green
