He's working 9 til 5 in a dark and dirty place He gets up too early, doesn't see his children His wife's been working so hard just to pay their way Cause little (?) no shoes, got no soles on the bottom He gets down no his knees, closes his eyes and starts to pray The tears come tumbling down just like the rhythm of the rain He's thinking, I keep running Got his hands up and he know it's not enough today Singing, keep running Got his hands up cause he knows it's not enough Knows it's not enough She's 5 foot 9 and oh she's never had to work a day When she tiptoes in at 5am they don't notice Cause her daddy sleeps with his Rolex on Her mom's been shopping all day long While she lies awake on her bed on roses full of thorns She get's down on her knees, opens her eyes to another day The tears come tumbling down just like an endless tidal wave She's thinking I keep running Got her hands up and he know it's not enough today Singing, keep running Got her hands up cause he knows it's not enough Knows it's not enough Keep running, keep running, keep running, keep running Keep running, keep running, I keep running, keep running Keep running, keep running, keep running Keep running, keep running, keep running Keep running, keep running, keep running Keep running, keep running, keep running Keep running, keep running, keep running Keep running, keep running, keep running Keep running, keep running, keep running Keep running, keep running, keep running
