The Petal Falls - Workin' All Night, Workin' All Day

These streets where I was born haven't changed in all this time
Still stricken by an illness caused by poverty and crime
For some there's no escape and it's more than they can bare
They waste their lives in tragedy The truth is no one cares

Written on these faces like graffiti on a wall
Is this the best that I can be
There's so much I can achieve
All they needed was a guiding hand to help them turn the leaf
A little trust and faith
Just a little self belief

(Workin all night workin all day)
I'm just trying to make my way
(Workin all night workin all day)
I can't survive on the money they pay
(Workin all night workin all day)
I'm just trying to make my way
(Workin all night workin all day)
I can't survive on the money they pay

Broken lives and promises are all we can expect
But you can't take away my dignity or my self respect
Slowly I got angry with all the people who have more
I was tired of being no one
Sick to death of being poor

And I stepped back
I took a good look at myself
Is this the best that I can be
There's so much I can achieve
All i needed was a guiding hand to help me turn the leaf
A little trust and faith
Just a little self belief

(Workin all night workin all day)
I'm just trying to make my way
(Workin all night workin all day)
I can't survive on the money they pay
(Workin all night workin all day)
I'm just trying to make my way
(Workin all night workin all day)
I can't survive on the money
On the money
On the money they pay
Workin all night Workin all day

(Workin all night workin all day)
I'm just trying to make my way
(Workin all night workin all day)
I can't survive on the money they pay
(Workin all night workin all day)
I'm just trying to make my way
(Workin all night workin all day)
I can't survive on the money on the they pay
On the money they pay
On the money
The money

(Workin all night workin all day)
I'm just trying to make my way
(Workin all night workin all day)
Woo
(Workin all night workin all day)
I'm workin so hard
(Workin all night workin all day)
I can't survive
(Workin all night workin all day)
(Workin all night workin all day)
Every night and every day
(Workin all night workin all day)
(Workin all night workin all day)
To be the best that I can be
Cause I'm workin all night workin all day
Workin all night workin all day
