Everyday People

COLLEGE KIDS TURNING TWENTY ONE IN THEIR SENIOR YEAR
SPRING BREAK WAS HERE,
THEY HEADED SOUTH BUT NOT FOR SUN ON THEIR SKIN
WHERE THE STORMS HAD BEEN
IT WAS HARD, FIXING WINDOWS AND SHINGLES AND DOORS
AND TIRED NEVER FELT SO GOOD BEFORE


EVERYDAY PEOPLE
ARE THE ONES WHO ARE MAKING MIRACLES
AND IT’S BEAUTIFUL
EVERYDAY PEOPLE
LIFTING UP THE WORLD, LIKE AN ANSWERED PRAYER
I THANK GOD THEY’RE THERE, THEY’RE THE ONES WHO CARE
EVERYDAY PEOPLE

DOCTORS SAID GOOD NEWS WE CAUGHT IT SOON ENOUGH
WE CAN CLEAR THIS UP
BUT SHE’S THIRTY AND SINGLE WITH TWO KIDS TO RAISE
TIMES ARE TOUGH THESE DAYS
SO HER FRIENDS MADE SOME CALLS AND THE WORD GOT AROUND
HOW HER BILLS GOT PAID SHE DON’T KNOW HOW



A LITTLE GIRL TAKES HER MOMMY’S HAND AND WALKS INSIDE
SAYING PLEASE DON’T CRY
AS THE PEOPLE WHO BUILT THIS HOUSE JUST FOR THEM
LAUGH THROUGH THE TEARS AS A FAMILY MOVES IN
