Verse 1:

I’m a modern woman four kids and a job

It’s a house of cards it’s a screaming mob

It’s a deadline missed, a shower not taken

It’s a restless night, a dream forsaken

Got a lot of debt, got a burdened brain

Gotta make myself push past the pain

Cause I’m a whirlin’ dervish I’m an idea churner

With too much cookin’ on my back burner

 

1st Chorus:

Flyin’ high I got love in my life

Takin time, gonna get it all in line

Flyin’ high I got love in my life

And the love will make me whole

 

Verse 2 (Chorus in background):

Got a train to catch, got bills to pay

Got too much stuff standing in my way

Got a pounding head and a racin’ heart

Got to get somewhere now my car won’t start

Gotta exercise but I’m tired of runnin’

Gotta find some time I can have some fun in

Gotta make some changes and make ‘em quick

This roller coaster ‘bout to make me sick

 

Bridge:

Stop – for a moment and remember who you are

Breathe – in the new light of an ancient morning star

Hear – in the quiet the voice that whispers true

Live in the promise given to you

 

Verse 3 (Overlay of bridge and chorus):

Got a lot of debt got a burdened brain

Gotta make myself push past the pain

Got a pounding head and a racin’ heart

Got to get somewhere now my car won’t start

Gotta exercise but I’m tired of runnin’

Gotta find some time I can have some fun in

Cause I’m a whirlin’ dervish I’m an idea churner

With too much cookin’ on my back burner
