WHEN MY SHIP TURNS IN

WHEN MY SHIP TURNS IN:
WHEN I KNOW THAT I WILL WIN:
HOW AM I GONNA FEEL:
IS IT REALLY REAL:
ALL MY LIFE FINANCIALLY I HAD TO STRUGGLE AND SURVIVE:
LIVING PAyday to paydat just keeping my head above water to stay alive:
whats gonna happen when i have money more than plenty:
when from so much debt and worry i will be cast free:

when my ship turns in:
my first wish is to help my next of kin:
i want to buy my brother a new car:
so he can travel in luxury and comfort far:
my sister she really helped me when i was down:
now for her i want to be around:
from my children of seven:
they all know our blessings come from christina anne up in heaven:

when my ship turns in:
i hope i will be motivated to become fit and thin:
i dont want money to change who i am:
i know with god i gotta make a plan:
i do not want to have materialistic greed:
i just want to be comfortable and for my family provide what we need:
i know in my life its all about what you give not what you get:
when my ship turns in i dont want any regret:

when my ship turns in:
as always i need to live with god and no sin:
wealth will bring a new set of challenges that you have to face:
gotta be practical thrifty dont get caught up in the rat race;
i will be happy to help otheres the best i can:
but for me i want to be even more thrifty man:

it has been reported where people thought there money would have no end:
outlandishly on materialistic pocessions they did foolishly selfishly spend:
i want to always remember that in the world there are people who have so much less:
i want to be wise and thrifty at my best:
when you have money in your pocket:
you want to take off like a rocket:
the feeling of having financial freedom:
you feel in life all battles you have really won:

having your health is the most important thing you can own:
if you are ill what does it matter if a multi million dollar home you live in alone:
your health will matter the most:
it dont matter how much cash you have to brag and boast:
never have i had a dollar in my bank accont to save:
so really to have money i dont know how i will behave:

when my ship will come in:
when i know that i will win:
i will pray that the lord will guide thy way:
and help me from over spending everyday:
all my life i have done my best to earn my hourly pay:
my true values of being practical and thrifty i want to stay:
i am thinking that all of the sudden popularity i will see:
everyone will befriend me:
but i will remember for me who was there when i didnt have a dime:
i will remember who helped me when i was in a bind:

when will my ship pull in, i look forward to the day:
but in the meantime here i am on my night job doing my best to earn my pay:
i look forward to the day when my every bill that i can repay:
then debt free i will stay:
to not owe anyone another penny:
will make me exceptionaly happy a plenty.
