RACING WITH THE STORM
Living life of near poverty
Working hard to barely make ends meetLooking for a change—not charity Politician with promisesProsperity for everyoneInsufficient wages—fear the homeless And we’re racing with the storm trying to keep the family fedRacing with the storm trying to keep one step aheadAnd we’re racing with the stormSee the lightning greed then hear the thunder need Ivy league for the well to doGreat luxury for the chosen fewSurvival skills for inner city school Getting old quick and quickerMoney saved way too meagerIndignity creating bitter And we’re racing with the storm trying to keep a safe warm bedRacing with the storm trying to keep one step aheadYes we’re racing with the stormSee the lightning greed then hear the thunder need Endless worries with sleepless nightsNo monetary relief in sightLost the battle—losing the fight Getting sick pure devastationNo medical no considerationFinancial loss-- sell all possessions
