waiting for my ship to come in

people, they are waiting for there ship to come in:
WAITING FOR MY SHIP TO COME IN:
in working and collecting cans, bottles to make some extra money through recycling and tin:
WAITING FOR MY SHIP TO COME IN:
hoping that better luck with them will be staying:
WAITING FOR MY SHIP TO COME IN:
waiting, for a positive change, to get ahead, and always hoping and praying:
WAITING FOR MY SHIP TO COME IN:
people wait in line for hours,trying there luck to win the multi million, great purse, and lottery:
WAITING FOR MY SHIP TO COME IN:
prom there bills and every day struggling, people want to be free:
WAITING FOR MY SHIP TO COME IN:
people hold onto hope:
WAITING FOR MY SHIP TO COME IN:
people, day in day out, are doing the best they can to survive and cope:
WAITING FOR MY SHIP TO COME IN:
driving an old broken car:
WAITING FOR MY SHIP TO COME IN:
in your beaten and used, in dire need of car repair, and not enough money for gas , so you cant go too far:
WAITING FOR MY SHIP TO COME IN:
taking the bus to work, because thats all that you can afford to do:
WAITING FOR MY SHIP TO COME IN:
praying and hoping that some way, some how, until next pay day you can make it through:
WAITING FOR MY SHIP TO COME IN:
when you will be able to catch up on your late and behind rent:
WAITING FOR MY SHIP TO COME IN:
when you get a break, heaven sent:
WAITING FOR MY SHIP TO COME IN:
working an extra shift at work, trying to make ends meet:
WAITING FOR MY SHIP TO COME IN:
survival mode,all work and no play, day in day out, struggling to stay above water, with basic living expenses and bills to pay, feeling so exhausted and beat:
WAITING FOR MY SHIP TO COME IN:
driving on the road with an old beat up car, that dependably wont take you too far:
WAITING FOR MY SHIP TO COME IN:
having to sell your vacation days at work, to jut buy groceries, and help get caught up and pay the basic bills,feeling under par:
WAITING FOR MY SHIP TO COME IN:
when you can go to the grocery store and buy orange juice, the best groceries,and all the healthy foods your family needs:
WAITING FOR MY SHIP TO COME IN:
looking forward, to getting an income tax return,paying all the over due bills, and get caught up and in the lead:
WAITING FOR MY SHIP TO COME IN:
when i dont have to work seven days a week, anymore:
WAITING FOR MY SHIP TO COME IN:
when we can buy whatever we need, in the super walmart store:
WAITING FOR MY SHIP TO COME IN:
when i have a brand new house of my own, and a brand new car:
WAITING FOR MY SHIP TO COME IN:
hoping and praying, the big lottery prize, to win, dreaming how the daily, financial struggles would be memory, and easily you could travel in first class far:
WAITING FOR THE AMERICAN DREAM:
with financial wealth, life wold be so much easier it would seem:
LIVING THE AMERICAN DREAM:
keep plugging away, and doing your best,and reach for the stars continue to dream:
LIVING THE AMERICAN DREAM:
keep hope, hold onto faith, live your life, honest and clean:
LIVING THE AMERICAN DREAM:
THROUGH THICK AND THIN, BELIEVE THAT YOU CAN:
LIVING THE AMERICAN DREAM:
YOU CAN DO ANYTHING YOU WANT , IF YOU CAN DREAM IT , BELIEVE IT, YOU CAN DO ANYTHING YOU SET YOUR MIND TO DO, JUST DO IT MAN:

LIVING THE AMERICAN DREAM, ITS NOT ABOUT, ALL THE THINGS THAT YOU HAVE alone:
ITS NOT ABOUT LIVING IN THE MANSION ON THE HILL, WITH AN OLYMPIC SWIMMING POOL IN THE BACK YARD. OR TRAVELING AROUND THE WORLD, EASILY EVERY MONTH IN FIRST CLASS,OR ABOUT, HAVING TWO BRAND NEW FANCY CARS. AND A MILLION DOLLAR YACT IN THE BACK YARD. OR STOCKS AND BONDS, WITH MONEY IN THE BANK AND CREDIT CARDS THAT ANYTHING YOU CAN PURCHASE AND OWN:

LIVING THE AMERICAN DREAM:
its about doing the best that you can, and GOD BLESS AMERICA, --  for our FREEDOM. that has been FOUGHT FOR AND WON, and well by all in the world looked up to and known:

THE AMERICAN DREAM, IS TO REACH OUT TO OTHERS, SHOW DIGNITY AND RESPECT:
GREAT THINGS WE CAN NOT ALL COME TO DO, BUT DO WHAT EVER YOU CAN DO, REACH OUT TO OTHERS WITH GREAT CARE, COMPASSION AND LOVE,SHOW YOUR HEART, SHOW KINDNESSM GRACE AND UNDERSTANDING, HAVE COURAGE AND FORGIVENESS, DO YOUR BEST,SHOW RESPECT NOT NEGLECT:

GOD BLESS YOU, AND GOD BLESS AMERICA:
COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS, ONE AND ALL:
WHERE EVER YOU NOW STAND, REACH OUT A HAND, HELP ANOTHER, WHEN THEY ARE DOWN FROM A FALL:

HOMELESSNESS IN AMERICA, THE LAND OF THE BRAVE,AND THE FREE, SHOULD NOT BE AN ISSUE ANYMORE:
FROM THE LAKES OF MINNESOTA, FROM THE HILLS, FROM THE MOUNTAINS AND FROM THE VALLEYS, FROM SEA TO SHINING SHORE,LETS TAKE CARE OF ONE ANOTHER, LOVING MORE AND MORE;

GOD BLESS AMERICA
FROM SEA, TO SEA,AND SHINING SHORE:
