Songtexte

[Verse 1]
My father worked in a shirt and tie
The factory floor was the place he felt alive
An old dust coat of ink and brown
Machine that roared as he pushed the lever down
And I would feel the warmth
Of the power in his hands, that he'd apply
And watched him as he worked
A man that was a hero to my eye
[Verse 2]
My mother cared for the broken few
She filled their plates and did all she could do
She'd hurry home to work some more
To smooth the sheets
To tidy up the floor
And I would feel the warmth
From everything she made here with her hand
And we would see this home
As the centre of a map, a rock to stand
[Chorus]
And she said, "Sleep my darlings, please
Put your minds at ease
Tomorrow we'll be free to start again
Ooh, again"
[Verse 3]
He grew the crops of a family life
Delivered fruits to his children and his wife
Then out of nothing, he lost his place
Things fell apart, a feeling of disgrace
And he would often wake
And ask her, "Have I given all I can?"
And felt we looked at him
To ask, "Is he the measure of a man?"
[Chorus]
And she said, "Sleep my darling, please
Put your mind at ease
Tomorrow you'll be free to start again"
[Instrumental]
And now I work in a counting house
I manage life, but only just about
I really can't complain at all
My kids, my wife
The beauty of it all
But all that I can see
Are a thousand little problems in my mind
I'm trying to make it work
I'm trying to use the tools they left behind
[Chorus]
And you say, "Sleep my darling, please
Put your mind at ease
Tomorrow you'll be free to start again
Ooh, again"
[Outro]
Gotta make it work
Gotta make it work
Gotta make it work
Gotta make it work
Gotta make it work
Gotta make it work
Gotta make it work
Gotta make it work
Gotta make it work
Gotta make it work
Gotta make it work
Gotta make it work
Gotta make it work
Gotta make it work
Gotta make it work
Gotta make it work
Gotta make it work
Gotta make it work
Gotta make it work
Gotta make it work
Gotta make it work
Gotta make it work
Gotta make it work
Gotta make it work
