Here, where it all began
Where life's sweet vessel brought us to land
Where we rowed against the tide, for none knew the sunset's soft art
Where today's morsel, if saved with care, lasts the whole week apart
Where our dear mother blesses us, though slaps might be a part
You can't imagine what criticism cost this beating heart
But joy is immense today, the kitchen lacks naught in its chart
Being poor is not being defeated
It's just a current state that can be treated
We chase our future, with a desperate plea
We all grew impatient, to sit and wait for what tomorrow might be
Today
I only need your gaze, no blessing I implore, my Father
Let me take the first step, that I may find you, altogether
Today
I only need your gaze, no blessing I implore, my Father
Let me take the first step, that I may find you, altogether

Before the year shall finally end
Let me thank the Heavens, my loving friend
For not letting death claim me this year, so my battles I could extend
Hold your child's hand tight, and let not the accuser ascend
For today I looked back, and realized I've reached a new transcend
Being poor is not being defeated
It's just a current state that can be treated
We chase our future, with a desperate plea
We all grew impatient, to sit and wait for what tomorrow might be
Today
I only need your gaze, no blessing I implore, my Father
Let me take the first step, that I may find you, altogether
Today
I only need your gaze, no blessing I implore, my Father
Let me take the first step, that I may find you, altogether
