Desperate people are what we see
Battling with the economy in which they live
Searching for a way to make it through
The difficult times of doom and gloom
Working hard towards a better life
Seeking ways to improve what they have
Overcoming what stands in your way
Using wisdom and courage every day
Bravely walking forward to achieve
The best they can against the odds
And work triumphantly to the end
Being better off than you were before
