Day By Day

So Monday's here again
Each one's harder to accept
Not much left in this fridge
And each cold breath costs a cent
Can't clear the doubt and debt
With these pennies I have left
Sunday's sermon's still ahead
Hope this change will last us 'til then

But I know
Intentions aren't good enough
But they don't know
The weight I carry 'cause of love

Wednesday's feeling hotter
Makes it harder to survive
There isn't much for me to say
But 'I'll work damn hard for that dime'
Family's feeling hungry
While we wait to hear some news
That maybe, yeah, just maybe
A paycheck for us is due

But I know
Intentions aren't good enough
And they don't know
The weight I carry with their love
But I know
Desperate wishes aren't good enough
And Lord knows
These broad shoulders won't us last long

Been selling my possessions
All week long but it's all right
'Cause trinkets filled with memories
Only collect dust, just give 'em time
It's Friday as I'm by the phone
'Ring Ring' to my surprise
Word comes that I'm a working schmo
Thank Heavens, I think we'll be all right

But I know
Second chances aren't good enough
But they don't know
What will drive me is their love
But they don't know
What will drive me is their love
