ANOTHER DAY
By: Derrick N. Ashong

Another Day
Who gon' help me clean up the yard?
Another bill to pay
Who gon' help me clean up the yard?
Another man
Hold out his hand
For 50 grand
Who gon' help me clean up the yard?
Another penny for your vote...
Who gon' help me clean up the yard?  

Here comes a man With polished hands
And he go chant: "I can promise you tomorrow"
And so you stand
In sinking sands
And hope tomorrow comes...
Now in his hand
Explains the man
He has a cup that can take away the sorrow
So you sip
That bitter drink
And hope the taste will ease the pain...  

Another Day
Who gon' help me clean up the yard?
Another bill to pay
Who gon' help me clean up the yard?
Another dope For you to smoke
Just take a toke  
Who gon' help me clean up the yard?
Another gun has found a hand...
Who gon' help me clean up the yard?

Here comes the man
With hat in hand
And he go chant: "I can promise you tomorrow"
You understand
He has a plan
Let's hope tomorrow comes...  
Here in his hand
Explains the man
He has a drink that can wash away your sorrows
And so you sip
From drop to drip
And hope to wash away the shame...

Another Day
Who gon' help me clean up the yard?
Another bill to pay
Who gon' help me clean up the yard?
Another vote
Goes up in smoke Is this a joke?  
Who gon' help me clean up the yard?
Another riot burns outside your door
What are we fighting for?
Who gon' help me clean up the yard?

Enuff of lies
Open your eyes
And hear me cry: "I can't promise you tomorrow"
For thus the wise
Have long surmised
Tomorrow never comes...
Now is the time
For you & I
To learn to fly on the wings of more than sorrow
And as we rise
To break these binds
We find the will to shine again
