61 Cents To Heaven

Kid is trippin off of miseducation-
So stay patient.
Scenes of failure make me wonder
If he can really face it?

A life just always out of reach.
A life just always out of time.
A life just always short a penny.
Two quarters. And a dime.

But the life is right there,
It's right there in his sight.
Hanging by a thread,
Like the anchor of a kite.

Life just past his fingertips,
As close as breath is to his lips.
Escaping grasp of fingertips,
Just as breath leaves his two lips.

Just a moment of your time-
It would be the biggest gift:
Could you stop for just one sec,
And please give him a lift?
