Cog In The Wheel

You
Were a rising star
You were going far
Straight to the moon

They
All had faith in you
Of the things you'd do
You were one of the few

But now
Oh how you fell
Heaven to hell
So far from swell

Here
You found your place
Won't show your face
From fear & disgrace

But I gotta know
Was it all that bad
I mean you're still a lad
There are those who've done worse

Let go of the past
You better do it fast
I don't mean to be crass
But stop eating dirt!

Most of the time I feel
Like a cog in the wheel

The days are all numbered
But I've lost count
So I'll live in the moment
And drink from the fount
Of love & forgiveness
Forget what I feel
For surely I'm more
Than just a cog in the wheel
We are all more
Than just a cog in the wheel

You
Are a rising star
You are going far
Straight to the moon

We
All believe in you
Of the things you'll do
You have nothing to prove

You are loved
And have nothing to prove
