life is a struggle


In the one room shack
The whole family stays
Living from day to day
Wanting to change

The life is hard
No electricity in the shack
Water from the public tap
Life is tough but never give up

The single mother
Alone she makes the day
Selling woods and washing clothes
Just to get some money to live by

The children get an education
The eldest children have to forget
Sacrifice for the young ones
At least they can read and write

The years down the road
The old shack gone the family moved away
The children all grown up going separate ways
Life isn't tough anymore

But the struggles to live
It is still moving on
The years of living in hardship
It helps to live in the vibrant city

When life is down
It doesn't mean the end of it
It means we have to try harder
To get up and move again
