Marguerita wants to take her shoes off.
She’s been up and down these stairs about twenty thousand times
She can’t afford to wait for elevators
‘Cause it’s five o’clock and there’s still a week’s worth of work to do.
Patients lining up to see the doctor
He’s been taking care of them for thirty-seven years
There used to be more time for conversation
But in the brave new world of modern medicine there’s just no way.
(chorus)
Is this any way to make a life, or just a living?
Can we really reach the top by serving just the bottom line?
If we could bring our hearts and souls to the work we do,
Then wouldn’t we be working with beauty?
College students trying to pick a major
Limiting their options based on starting salaries
Everybody wants to grab the brass ring
Overlooking gold that’s buried deep within their human hearts
