Inspired by an exercise/mobility class for seniors. Daris is a young international sports participant.
Lyrics
Spare us Daris
morning comes too early
But we come because we care
we risk our life and limb
To park and struggle up the stairs
Good mornings in the cloakroom
As we remove our shoes
And We shuffle into huddles
And discuss our weekend Blues
Enough of that
she intervenes
We hit the Mats
And balance beams
Chorus
Its nothing short of magic
That you can hip up on a Swiss ball
Or balance on your head
Or stretch from wall to wall
And nothing short of tragic
Trying to do what we've just seen
Or even in a dead bug
Remembering to breathe
verse
Then you start the timer
As Dutifully we dead lift
And frigging mountain climber
To the sounds of Taylor Swift
Oh spare us will you Daris
We're old volcanic dirt
Nothing seems to bend or fold
And even breathing hurts
Chorus
Its nothing short of magic
That you can hip up on a Swiss ball
Or balance on your head
Or stretch from wall to wall
And nothing short of tragic
Trying to do what we've just seen
Or even in a dead bug
Remembering to breathe
Verse refrain
Oh spare us will you Daris
We're old volcanic dirt
Nothing seems to bend or fold
And even breathing hurts
Spare us will you Daris
Trying to recall what you said
You may be on a marathon
But We just. got out of bed
