What if everyone had a paycheck?
What if everyone showed their care?
I’m thinking how wonderful things could be
No one could say that life isn’t fair
Some working in the fields
While others sit on a porch
Farmer comes home bent
Sitters “high” finishing a roach
Workers have no complaint
Get high on accomplishment
Floaters sit and dream
Dreaming the reality they meant
Workers show up and are happy
Idlers pretend they are
There is quiet joy in the work place
Noise and emptiness at the bar
Think of the pride the paycheck brings
And the world where everyone has care
I’m thinking how wonderful things could be
No one could complain – life isn’t fair
We may all take a step
In the direction of making things right
Make things better for those along the way
Turning the day from gloomy to bright
We know what is real and the ideal
The wishing that life could be smooth
For everyone in every category
To hope for, work for and not considered fools
What if we remember that we’re only of the world?
There will be a time to share
What if everyone had a paycheck?
What if everyone showed their care?
