More Than This

When I'm up in court And they read my name out When I'm crying out all of my tears With no pennies to spend I'm late on the rent now And my kids go hungry For the 3rd time this week And I can't deny that The system keeps failing me Over again over and over again She said And I'm down on my knees And I'm waiting for I'm down on my knees And I'm praying for something to come that's More than this For the broken hearted From a broken home Let down on the breadline And this ain't the first time That my kids go hungry Did I mention that? The estate seems ugly You may think I'm a junkie I need to be able to put food on the table Working two jobs a week Just to keep paying my way She said And I'm down on my knees And I'm waiting for I'm down on my knees And I'm praying for something to come that's More than this If I make you believe That we're needing more And I wish you could see We need more than this Still down on the breadline Should I mention that No food on the table Did I mention that And my kids go hungry And I mention that Over and over and over and over And I'm down on my knees And I'm waiting for And I beg and I plead And I'm living for Something to come that's More than this If I make you believe That we're needing more And I wish you could see That we're living for Something to come that's More than this The estate seems ugly You may think I'm a junkie I need to be able to put food on the table
