A DAILY ROUTINE

I draw back the curtains it's five in the morning 
I think to myself another day is ready and dawning  
What I wonder will this day forward bring 
The sky is overcast while I hear the birds sing 

Downstairs I go and the kettle is on once more 
Can't function without my coffee that's for sure  
Out the house and I leave just after eight  
No time for dawdling I must not be late 

A ten hour shift I have in front of me today
As I look skywards and it's still overcast and grey 
I don't mind routine as I go about my day 
Must work hard for I have my bills to pay
