I've seen others in the struggle, trapped by loans they can't defeat,
Do I follow my ambitions or a safer road I take?
Fifty grand or even more, how will I ever pay?
When the debt's a mountain high, can I ever climb?
Should I forge a different path, find a different route?
But I'm weighed down by the numbers, and it's breaking my heart.
Is it worth it, is it wise, to chase a dream that fades with time?
Trading books for a simple job, is that the better life?
As I chase ambitions, but the price I must discern.
Or should I settle for a life where I'm free from all this strife,
I'm at the crossroads, wondering which path is mine.
Debt's a spectral echo, haunting every turn,
With interest rates that climb so high, it's a never-ending beat.
Hoping for an answer, a future that feels right.
With the burden of this question, I ponder through the night,
Dreams of a better future, now clouded by this doubt,
So here I stand at the crossroads, with a choice I need to make,
I've been dreaming of the future, with a degree in my hand,
But the numbers start to haunt me, it's a debt I can't withstand.
Is it worth the price I'm asking, or should I walk away?
I'm wondering if it's worth it, all this endless fight.
In the haze of neon dreams, where futures intertwine,
Or should I settle for a life where I'm free from all this strife,
They say education's freedom, a ticket to the stars,
Is it worth it, is it wise, to chase a dream that fades with time?
Trading books for a simple job, is that the better life?
When the debt's a mountain high, can I ever climb?
Or should I settle for a life where I'm free from all this strife,
Trading books for a simple job, is that the better life?
Is it worth it, is it wise, to chase a dream that fades with time?
When the debt's a mountain high, can I ever climb?
Years and years of repayments, still they see no end in sight,
