Real Miracle


 

 

                                          All my life I’ve been living on a low budget

                                          Always worrying about if I could afford college

                                          I keep thinking I have no shot of being what I want

                                          If only you knew the struggles that I have fought

                                          I have dreams that I want to release

                                          Yet I feel like I’m all out of opportunities

                                          If I had a thousand dollars for my education

                                          That would be a real miracle, I’d be very thankful

                                          To others the amount doesn’t mean a thing

                                          But to me it’s way better than having nothing

                                          To continue my path to a brighter future

                                          I need a place to start on a road much smoother

                                          It’s like I’m going in circles and I need a way out

                                          Tired of always feeling in doubt

                                          I feel like I’m running out of time

                                          All these years are just flying by

                                          Before I know it I’ll be a senior

                                          Being pressured into choosing a career

                                          And I’ve only got a year

                                          If I had a thousand dollars for my education

                                          That would be a real miracle, I’d be very thankful

                                          So give me a chance; help me stay faithful
