What a Dollar Does
A dollar means a lot to me.
It meant that I could not compete.
And so dollar is to me
the closing of uncertainty
a bank account below the limit
My dept tightening by the minute
Now, a dollar is to me
my Mother's baby's feeding fee.
What I can earn here in a day
in Philippines is one weeks pay
But, a dollar is to me
My Dad dropping coins onto the street,
"A businessman has no need for change"
I watched them as they rolled away.
A dollar means a lot to me
I save and scramble to defeat
My student loans, my living costs
My friends 5 dollar coffee cup.
My Mother's loss,
My Father's cause,
My friend's death from medicinal costs.
Oh, a dollar means a lot to me.
A dollar meant I could not compete.
It can decide if I am free,
Or if I'm in dept while interest creeps.
