Day after day we rise at dawn
Praying for strength to carry on
 
Never knowing what's in the mail
Or which collector found our trail
 
Afraid of who will pass us by
Of staring into a stranger's eye

Reluctant to answer the telephone
It's best not to speak of loans

This cruel world leads us astray
Our luxury bills we cannot pay

There are ways to get rich schemes
Temptations follows us it seems
 
How fast do we reach the end
Our dignity we must defend
 
By casting our sad eyes above
To God's glory and forgiving love
 
We'll keep on the straight and narrow
If we don't make the mistake to borrow

Be satified with the things we've got
Regardless if we are poor or not
 
The way to find a peaceful end
Is to hold our heads straight
      my friends
