Strive 2 Survive (verse 3)

by David Wallace   Dec 4, 2006


This goes out 2 the mother's working 2 jobs just 2 survive/ Holding their composure throughout the day but at night they cry/ Blinded by deceit and lies left going through hard times/ Because the father fled scared and refused 2 comply/ Struggling leaving their fate in gods hands just preying 2 the man/ Hoping 2 find comfort smooth riding after traffic jams/ Brain corroding body eroding but the heart is still swollen/ Still managing 2 put food on the table now thats poetry n motion/ Sad emotions exploding 4 a life thats been stolen/ Coffins receding underground living 4ever in this moment/ Darkness approaching, death is calling unclear signs of cold warnings/ Wrong place, Wrong time now the mom is in mourning/ That was her only son who never had a chance at growing/ Keeping her heart aligned by this one powerful notion/ he's n a better place now cradling the clouds/ In an eternal sleep cause at the end were all gods child/
