if you think it’s bad now
just wait awhile
you’ll see things
you thought you’d never see
or even wanted to

if you think it’s bad now
with your money flow
going more out than in
just wait awhile
you might find a penny
someone else forgot

then there’s your feelings
many days are not that happy
or as happy as you wish
there’s more days now
which hold a kind of sadness
that many people experience
but only the person feels

but wait awhile
before you turn the corner
cuz if you think it’s bad now
there’s children around the bend
who are hungry and cold
one has even died
from hunger
from coldness
from being unnoticed
by those who could have helped
yet they turned away
pretending not to notice
those they have seen
less fortunate than them
