When The Sun Rises

  The sun will rise in the morning
  so I tell myself every day
  but I'm so damn tired
  of living my life this way
  empty hand to empty hand I stumble
  down this broken life I now lead
  working hard from open eyes to rest time
  often with nothing upon which to feed
  family of my heart provide shelter for me
  what I return to them is so small
  they don't complain or ask for much
  still I cannot help feeling not so tall
  I'm very cold from the winter air
  with no heat in this safe sanctuary
  I'm very scared I will never return
  to the life that always made me merry
  what happened is something easy to describe
  but such talk will not produce a dream
  so I work hard from open eyes to rest time
  hoping when the sun rises I have a better scheme
