I’m up with the sun
At work on time
Giving more than I get
I’ll hold that line
I’m no better than anyone else
I’ve made my share of mistakes
But mistakes teach you to try harder
For success you do whatever it takes
Only one way to earn your keep
Prove your worth to the boss
At week’s end
The finish line you’ll cross
Play your cards right
A surprise in your paycheck
Rewarded with a pay raise
Your smile has a deserved outlet
To a needing coworker
I’ll gladly lend a helping hand
Together we’ll get the job done
A commitment we understand
Life isn’t free
I’ll pay that toll
I’m driven by inner pride
And that’s how I roll
