Life
is Strangling
(R.Wingelaar)
Soon
it gets to freezing
and the cold cuts like a knife
Need more blankets just to keep a life
Wood price is rising higher,
not allowed to cut it down
And the ones I thought were friends
wont come around
Work
is closed for months long,
till the spring comes near
So not a dollar, not a dollar will appear
Get up each lonely morning,
for some job that I could find
But it seems theres nothing left for me behind
Chorus:
O Lord if theres a heaven, could you send a line of hope
Im feeling down, down, lifes
strangling like a rope
This pain that I call living, has
got me on the ground
So please,.. if youre around
Soon
its getting hotter, then the lake will be dried out
And this crop cant feed the hungry mouth
Waters ten miles westward,
while my back aint what its been
And the children are to weak for travelling
My husband died in prison
for a thing that he aint done
Justice, is just a word thats long time gone
So heres a desperate living
with kids rely on my
Could I show them that their life is meant to be
Repeat
Chorus:
Bridge:
And I dont know why but thats the way it goes
Cant stand the fact that every time it shows
Youre born in a circle you cant choose,
Youre born to win or somehow born to loose
Soon
Ill get my pay, then when the work is done
A holiday with my body in the sun
By car, by bus, by train, maybe leave by plane
Going to clear my mind and strength to gain
Insurances
arranged, so nothing can go wrong
Lets enjoy the pleasant times while were young
Just step out of the patterns, well just pick a day
Its easy if you want to break away
Repeat
Chorus:
Repeat
Bridge:
