Original music from Riff Beach - RiffWerx 2012, revised version 2026.

[Verse 1]

Give me fresh coffee beans, and I’ll wake up feeling fine

Until I’m fed through The Daily Grind

It sure seems good while it’s churning away

But I’m all ground up at the end of the day

Oh, I got a tune in my head

That’s searching for words

Searching for something

That’s never been heard

Pebbles in a quarry

All mixed into a load

Smashed into gravel

And used to build a road

[Pre-Chorus]

But there’s a spark in the dust

There’s a spark in me

I can feel it rising

Slow and steady

[Chorus]

Change in my pocket

And nothing but time

I’m working my way through The Daily Grind

Oooh, I swear sometimes

I’m losing my mind

’Cause I’m so worn from The Grind

[Verse 2]

Put some coffee on to start my day

Don’t want to work, just hang out and play

Sometimes I swear that I’m losing my mind

Want more from life than The Daily Grind

I’ve been bent, but I’m still here

Still got fire in my bones

Still got a song that’s pushing

To make itself known

[Pre-Chorus]

And every hard day

Leaves a little light

I can feel tomorrow

Breaking through tonight

[Chorus]

Change in my pocket

And nothing but time

I’m working my way through The Daily Grind

Oooh, I swear sometimes

I’m losing my mind

’Cause I won't get lost in The Grind

[Bridge]

Maybe the road is rough

Maybe the load is long

But I’m not done

I’m still becoming strong

From the quarry to the road

From the ache to the sky

I’m learning how to live

Not just getting by

[Chorus]

Change in my pocket

And nothing but time

I’m working my way through The Daily Grind

Oooh, I swear sometimes

I’m losing my mind

But I’m reaching for more than The Grind

Change in my pocket

And nothing but time

I’m working my way through The Daily Grind

Oooh, I swear sometimes

I’m losing my mind

But I’m so much more than The Grind
