SiM - Glory Lyrics

I'm gonna wait
And I'm gonna set myself aside
And I'm gonna separate the ties
That build me
And I'm gonna work
I'm gonna slave every single day
Keep my head down
And pave the way
For my glory

And when my glory don't come
And I am poorer still than some
I'll carry on
I'll carry on

'Cause I'm gonna believe
This is the life that I should lead
Follow the crowd
And pay no heed
To my own needs
And when I want relief
I'm gonna medicate myself
I'm gonna waste away my wealth
On nothing
Of meaning

And when my glory don't come
Although I'm richer now than some
I'll carry on
I'll still carry on

I'm gonna age
Feel all the years now fall away
And I'll be here
All that remains
Of my skin
And now I can rest
I'm gonna while away the hours
Watch all the people bring me flowers
At last

And when my glory don't come
I'll not be surprised
What is this thing called work
That we do with our lives?
Somewhere there's a list of
The things I haven't done
'Cause I carried on
I carried on
