[Verse 1]
The clock strikes nine, I’m out the door,
Got a list of folks who need me more.
But the boss man calls, says, “Take a seat,”
Another meeting, same old beat.
[Chorus]
Staff meetings drag, they steal my day,
Talkin’ circles, not much to say.
While the world outside keeps fallin’ apart,
I’ve got a heavy load and a weary heart.
[Verse 2]
Miss Johnson’s waitin’ for her meds,
Little Jimmy needs a roof and a bed.
But here I sit, in a windowless room,
Dreamin’ of freedom and the work I assume.
[Bridge]
The coffee’s cold, the papers pile,
We’ve been here talkin’ for quite a while.
There’s a line of folks just waitin’ on me,
But I’m stuck here talkin’ policy.
[Chorus]
Staff meetings drag, they steal my day,
Talkin’ circles, not much to say.
While the world outside keeps fallin’ apart,
I’ve got a heavy load and a weary heart.
[Verse 3]
I know it’s needed, the plans we make,
But it feels like time’s a thing we forsake.
There’s faces out there, lost in the storm,
Who need more than words to keep them warm.
