Lyrics

The price of doing well is doing more
A bittersweet reward for unloved work
That does not uplift, merely seems a chore
A distasteful, modern employment quirk
For those whose work and passion are aligned
This doing more can be its own reward
In livelihood and purpose so combined
A lifetime's loving labors can be poured
As those of us whose passion cannot find
A venue to trade wages for this grace
The need to work to eat our common bind
Must find external causes to embrace
Hence service in work or external drives
Away the stain of wasted, empty lives
