Another Day
D.O.R.K Lyrics

This world is made with sweat and toil, pushing muscle and elbow oil
The world is built on hard work and effort, requiring physical labor and determination.

We can't lie too long in the shade, cause every day must be remade
We cannot rest permanently in our comfort zones because each day presents new challenges and opportunities to grow.

Some days you fall some days you fly, but in the end we all must die
Life is full of highs and lows, but ultimately we all have to face our mortality.

Our rotting flesh and broken bone will feed the ground that we call home
Once we die, our remains will become nourishment for the earth that sustains us.

But a new sprout grows from a fallen tree, my sons will go on after me
Life continues after death, as new generations arise and carry on our legacy.

So lift your heart and dry your eye, it's another day to live and die
We should be hopeful and happy despite life's challenges, knowing that each day is an opportunity to experience and learn something new.

I've run naked in the wild, seen the beauty of a newborn child
Life is full of diverse and beautiful experiences, from running wild in nature to witnessing the miracle of new life.

Like the alchemists of old, I've tried to spin my straw to gold
Just like alchemists attempted to turn base metals into gold, the artist has tried to turn difficult situations into something positive and valuable.

Most times a giver, sometimes a thief, so full of hope but prone to grief
The artist is generally a generous person, but sometimes can be selfish. They are optimistic but also susceptible to sadness and despair.

Between freedom and despair, I know that truth is lying there
Life involves choice between freedom and despair, but the artist believes that the answer lies in finding one's true purpose and meaning.

And a new sprout grows from a fallen tree, this world will go on after me
Life continues after death, with new generations and experiences taking over.

So go on now, don't you worry 'bout me, you've miles to go and a world to see
The artist does not want their loved ones to worry about them after death, but rather to focus on their own lives and opportunities for growth.

My life's been long and full and good, I've run this race the best I could
The singer feels satisfied with their life and the effort they put into it, despite its ups and downs.

It's a short time here and long apart, But the same song rings in both our hearts
Life seems brief compared to eternity, but we all share the same basic experiences and emotions.

So take my guitar when I'm gone, write your own rhymes, then pass it on, Just take your hit and then pass it on
The singer wants their loved ones to continue their legacy, by creating their own art and passing on the lessons they learned.

Let a new sprout grow from a fallen tree, this song will go on after me
Life will continue even after death, with new experiences and generations taking over and continuing the legacy of those who came before.

It's another day to live and die, just another day
Each day is filled with both possibilities and limitations, but ultimately it is just one out of many in our lives.
