The Bottom Line Lyrics by Jeff Plankenhorn

0

Sadie lives alone down off Market St
In a tent behind the Lord & Taylor store
Gets her food where she can find it
She fell one paycheck behind
She can’t pull up her bootstraps anymore
Benny drives a rideshare on the weekends
‘cause he couldn’t find him anything full time
He spent 8 years overseas
Fighting faceless enemies
The things he has to do now to survivе
And I wonder when you werе a baby
Did Mother Earth make you part of her design?
Was it circumstance or luck
Kept you down or brought you up?
But isn’t it all the same sunshine
That shows you where to draw the bottom line?
All the rainy day patrons know Melissa
When she’s pourin’ coffee with her kindly smile
What with three kids at home
And she’s raisin’ them alone
Workin’ every tip to buy them school supplies
And I wonder when you were a baby
Did Mother Earth make you part of her design?
Was it circumstance or luck
Kept you down or brought you up?
But isn’t it all the same sunshine
That shows you where to draw the bottom line?
Last night I thought I heard a whisper
Like an old lost friend of mine
The voice rang clear and true
“there’s only so much we can do
Just keep your eyes upon the bottom line”
And I wonder when you were a baby
Did Mother Earth make you part of her design?
Was it circumstance or luck
Kept you down or brought you up?
But isn’t it all the same sunshine
I hope one day you see the bottom line
