[Verse 1]
Oh no these are my first words today
I try to keep my eye closed but my sweet
Dreams fade away and I realize I'm still me
And harder times are near I got to face
Today and the years that got me here but
If I should fail if I should fail
I can't fail I must prevail
[Verse 2]
Everyday I have this Money and one day
Less time I use to run through the world
But now I have to climb I'm grateful
For my blessings music friends
And love but today's cost of living is hard to
Stay above I work hard to have a future and
Try to hide my fear and treat everybody nice
And kind while I'm still here and I can't fail I
Must prevail
[Verse 3]
Please lend me some piece of mind with
Interest and a fee the best politicians money
Can buy say take your love for free I never
Ever run to temptation now temptation runs
From me I try to stay strong is all I need to
Be and I play my blues with fire there are
New songs to be sung I have to work much
Harder than I have to do when I was young
But if I should fail if I should fail I can't fail I
Shall prevail I shall prevail mmm mmm mmm
