Instead of crying over my loss,
this job where I was quickly fired,
I'll learn a trade, be my own boss.
Over the job page I won't gloss,
I'll study my course, become inspired,
instead of crying over my loss.
I'll say a prayer, and do my cross,
and I'll be the first one that I hire.
I'll learn a trade, be my own boss,
my overhead will be low cost,
for I will keep the books for hire,
instead of crying over my loss.
Thoughts of my old job I will toss
into the bin and set it on fire.
I'll learn a trade, be my own boss,
I'll soon remove this albatross
around my neck, I'm now inspired!
Instead of crying over my loss,
I'll learn a trade, be my own boss.
