Backstory:
I came up with the hook as a play on the words "The Speed of Light" except I made it "The Speed of Life" to more accurately reflect our harried pace. Running all the time doesn't allow us time to fulfill our dreams until we choose to put our dreams first.
Lyrics:
Hit snooze one too many times
Another day, another fight,
Gulping coffee on the drive
Against the clock, against the grind,
Pre-Chorus:
We're spinning round and round,
On this hamster wheel we’re on
But we can’t break free ‘til we see,
Chorus:
We're running at the speed of life,
But missing out on all that's right,
Stuck in this endless rat race,
We’re jetting at the speed of life
Faster than we want to fly
Leaving dreams in our wake.
Verse 2:
I’m barely through the office door
Boss tells me I’m not needed anymore
He says pack up all your things
And I said, “time to chase my dreams”
Pre-Chorus:
We're spinning round and round,
On this hamster wheel we've found,
But we can break free if we see,
Chorus:
We're running at the speed of life,
But missing out on all that's right,
Stuck in this endless rat race,
We’re jetting at the speed of life
Faster than we want to fly
Leaving dreams in our wake.
Bridge:
It's time to make a change,
To rearrange our days,
Prioritize what truly matters,
And let go of the rest.
Chorus:
We’re rushing at the speed of life
Now we’re living all that’s right
Running towards our destiny
We’re rushing toward our better life
‘Cause Now we finally can decide
To live our dreams
Outro:
No longer trapped in our mind
We're living life by design,
Moving at the speed of our dreams,
Finally feeling free.
