Two parking tickets all in one day
When Oh Lord will things go my way
For the last three years life has been a struggle
Just hangin' by a thread in this concrete jungle
No A.C. in my apartment
Just a fan to blow warm air
No woman in my life
to tell me she loves me and cares
No steady source of income
temping hardly pays the bills
When Oh Lord I pray to Thee
will I climb over this hill
Somedays I hate to wake up
for I know what the day will hold
lack, stress, obstacles, hardships,
everything opposite gold
Yet when I sense a good thing to come
it's never quite what I expect
it's always something short of freedom
from this tangled net
People often remind me
things could be worse off the they are
but I wish you all the same success
as I wish to be a star
It seems when things are looking up
life always pulls them down
first something happens to make you smile
then something to make you frown
I won a thousand dollars once
which made me quite excited
soon thereafter my grandfather passed
and made my joy feel slighted
When Oh Lord will things look up
and never be brought down
When Oh Lord will I smile again
and never again frown
When Oh Lord will blessings flow
free through the universe
When Oh Lord will blessings flow
not followed by a curse?
