We Get up and go to work at first mornings light. We come home each and every night. Every day we see our little one's smile Although for us each day is a trial.
We make sure they learn how to read Because we know that knowledge is a little seed That needs to be watered frequently, If it’s to grow in little heads eventually.
We are careful not to yell and scream Because it’s easy to shatter our baby’s dream. We never let them see us do any wrong. As far as they know, life is a simple song.
Even when we have to hide our own tears Of broken promises made to us over many years We smile and tell them everything is going to be all right Though we lay awake, into the deep of night.
We know evil thoughts fly swifter than birds So we cover young ears when they hear foul rapper’s words. Their twisted rhymes teach them to lie, steal and cheat And we know, as they hear, they will also speak.
We love our kids and always tell them so And in other ways we always let them know With kind looks and tender embraces But at first light we’re gone again without any traces
We start the cycle all over again We don’t know if it will ever end But we’re not tied to quick and easy schemes It takes hard work to achieve our dreams.
