Sunset to morning, hard work for my man
These wages are slipping right through our hands
Hot days and no shade, caught on the wheel
Only the workers know how this nightmare feels
This may not be the kind of throne
Kings have built beneath their queens, I don’t care
I got so much love to give you
So much love to live for
As we float upon life’s river
There’s a way out of tomorrow
We’ll see it through together
Riding the storm, and holding our own
Again
How come the wealthy come out so clean
Their footsteps trample all our dreams
You work the nightshift, and I’ll work all day
Stealing the moments, when time never shows its face
I don’t need gold and jewels
I’m no rich girl, just a fool for you
I got so much love to give you
So much love to live for
As we float upon life’s river
There’s a way out of tomorrow
We’ll see it through together
Riding the storm, and holding our own
Again
