This track was written for the 1994 Asian American Association Fashion Show. My friends and I coordinated the business scene, so I put together a mix of a bunch of songs, including this original. We had this whole scene where a guy and a girl wake up in the morning and get ready for work, and then it goes into a P.M. Dawn song when they're on the train ("About Nothing - for the love of destiny"), then into a mix of "Pressure" (Billy Joel), "Workaholic" (2 Unlimited), and "Hard Day's Night" (The Beatles). You can find this track on an old Blue Audio mix tape from 1994 called Techno-Pop 2: experiment in progress.

You wake up slowly, early morning The sun lights softly upon your eyes With every minute passing by You feel your body start to rise From deepest sleep and safest dreams A spiritual endeavor in your heart And in your mind... Step out of bed and find your way Through the beginning of the day Getting ready to face The dangers of another working day Slave to the grind, but you don't mind Are you numb, or are you blind But don't you waste your time Just thinking 'bout another way Into the mirror you stare Trying to decide just what to wear So many choices, here are just a few Look carefully at what's before you 'Cause you'll be out there someday Just another grunt Trying to make it through another day...
