A Better Light

A Better Light

By Paul McCann

Out of work with nothing to do ,

just hanging round all the day through ,

young and restless trying to find ,

where I’m at in my troubled mind .

I’ve got so many unpaid bills ,

all piling up like rolling hills ,

I borrow what I cannot pay

and my debts increase everyday .

I need to get up on my feet

and find a job that I can keep ,

so I can be the person who ,

can pay my way in all I do  .

I won’t give up ,

I won’t lie down ,

I’m going to turn things around ,

I won’t give in ,

I won’t despair ,

I’ll hold my head up in the air.

There are mountains I have to climb

and I know it will take some time ,

step by step I  will make my way

to the light of better day .

A better light ,

a better day  and better times will come my way  .

All my life is ahead of me ,

a better light is what I see .
