Here I am br At the bus stop, br Unemployed once again, br Waiting for the bus that would take me home... br br Dark clouds are gathering br in the sky and it has started drizzling... br There's a lump in my throat br and tears of dejection are gathering br behind the eyes, just about to overflow... br br Suddenly Courage springs up inside me, br The lump disappears, br The tears dry up, br The bus arrives. br I gather my cloak of self-esteem around myself br and calmly, I get inside... br br I stay afloat br and Life pushes me along... br br Here I am br At home br Unemployed once again br Waiting for the phone call br That would change it all... br The sky is clear br and the sun is burning hot br There seems to be a big cross on my shoulders br and despair threatens br To pull me down... br br Suddenly Courage springs up inside me, br The cross disappears, br Despair gives way to hope, br I send applications, I sew, I wash, I clean, do all my household chores br And calmly, I sit down to pray... br br I stay afloat br and Life pushes me along...
