Necessarily Necessary

Let me tell a little story
Please don't tell me if its boring
In this private conversation
With only room for two
I was dreaming while I was sleeping
I was screaming while I was kneeling
For a reason for me being
In an office meant for two
Life can get so ordinary
But did you know that is not necessarily necessary

I work all day and night all year
I push aside my goals and dreams
In my private quest for being
More comfortable than you
I was thinking while I was reading
And I realised I was being
Selfish, proud, rude and self-seeking
And unhapppier than you
Life can get so ordinary
But did you know that is not necessarily necessary

Sometimes I think that I'm nothing
But you remind me that I'm something
Sometimes I think that I'm nothing
But you remind me that I'm something
Life can get so ordinary
But did you know that is not necessarily necessary
