We could live without security 

Jumping between short-term scenes

 

Being paid exactly what we think 

To produce images of quality 

 

We'd have the validation of our peers

We wouldn't need our families 

 

What they considered wasted years

Would return in new opportunities 

 

Like church without boring parts 

Like school without low marks

 

We'd get a refund on all our struggles

Wrapped in the sacredness of art
