Christmas - It's Just Another Day For Me

Christmas... It's just another day Another day for me I won't get any presents I won't sit beside a lighted tree It's just another day Another day to try and survive Another day to try and find food to eat Another day to try and stay alive It always seems to be just another day Another day to try and do my best Another day to hug my children Another day to pray to God to help me rest Christmas is just another day... Just as previous years have come before Another day to sit and wonder Where I'll be, when I don't have a house anymore It's just another day to think about Where and when things went all wrong To wonder if all of our elected politicians Care to see what is really going on I am just an average American who has always been just fine But without a job to go too I've fallen below the poverty line I don't want to be here I don't want to lose everything I own I want to be able to afford the Internet I want to be able to have a phone I want to be able to have a car to drive I want to able to go to work I want my children to be safe and warm I want to have some money in my purse I am sick and tired of all of my days Being unproductive and the same I am sick of sleeping hungry and cold I am sick of not knowing where I am going to stay I am sick of my life being on hold I don't want to have to live this way So Christmas is just another day... Another day for me to see All the things that I am missing Another year my children won't have a tree But another day to love my children The bright spots in my life Another day to go to church and pray for those who are living just like me Those who are still living Daily with my strife.
