Save Me

Corrinne MayI've been working myself to exhaustion for the past month and it's been much more than mental exhaustion but physical exhaustion as well. I am caught in a vicious cycle of waking up early to work, reaching home and being too tired to do anything else but sleep, then waking up again for work.

Many companies in some ways push the limits of their labour by making their workers perform more than just their regular duties. That way companies can save money by hiring less but inevitably it will affect the quality of work produced. The worker will not be able to concentrate on their original tasks as one moment they will be doing this, and stop because something else is urgent, to do another task. Up to a certain point, it not only affects overall productivity but staff morale as well.

Such a situation is becoming commonplace as many companies are cutting corners in order to remain competitive. If you are one of those caught in the situation, here's an inspiring song by local vocal, Corrinne May for you:

Save Me
I drift, I burn, I fly
When you sing lullabies
I'm helpless, I'm yearning
I'm like the putty in your hands

I laugh, I dream, I cry
When you take me on a roller coaster ride
You see me through and through
You see just who I am
Just take my hand and

Save me from this place
Heaven knows I'm falling
For you, my sweet embrace
Heaven Knows
Heaven knows I've been waiting for you

I had a dream that I was falling from the sky
At 90 miles an hour
I was bound to crash and die
But out of nowhere you came and rescued me
There must be some grace in the touch of your face
I'm so happy that I've found you
I'm no longer afraid

Oh cause you
Save me from this place
Heaven knows I'm falling
For you my sweet embrace
Heaven knows
Heaven knows I've been waiting

Before I met you
Life was slow-mo
So slow-mo
I thought I had it figured out
But you came and turned my whole world upside down

Save me from this place
Heaven knows I'm falling
For you, my sweet embrace
Heaven knows
Heaven knows you've come to

Save me from this place
Heaven knows I'm falling
For you, my sweet embrace
Heaven Knows
Heaven knows I've been waiting for you
Waiting for you
