Moonlighter
Stephanie Davis
I rise with the sun** cause my work is never done
And those leftover chores* from the midnight before* are still waiting for me
Once again I'm caught between* this rock and hard place
Well I get up on my feet and make coffee in my sleep
The school bell rings at eight** I hope the kids don't make me late
Cause the boss will want to know
Why I'm holdin' up the side show ** in this rat race……….
And it seems** like all the days are gettin' shorter
Fight with time to make your pay
Give a dollar's worth away to make a quarter
But I believe the holy light is burnin' brighter
To come and take this old world back** stop the pendulum in its track
And let the sun forever shine** on this moonlighter
The mornin' news is grim** the cost of livin's up again
And there's little left to spare**but I'm contendin' for my share
Cause my prospects are high**people reaching for the good life**all around me
Well I'm sure the lord knew best** when he made a day of rest
But it sure would turn out neat** with one more extra day a week
Maybe then this moonlight dance I do
Would never have a chance to overtake me…..
And it seems** like all the days are gettin' shorter...
Fight with time to make your pay
Give a dollar's worth away to make a quarter
But I believe** the holy light is burnin' brighter
To come and take this old world back** stop the pendulum in its track
And let the sun forever shine** on this moonlighter
