lyrics

Straw mat and a concrete floor, food in the corner from two days before, callus hand but they weren’t always rough, sharp words but we weren’t always tough, laundry hanging from a rope through the center of the room

This is what the dream looks like, more than a struggle it’s a fight to be kind when you’re hungry and tired, ‘cause you don’t have any right to be tired

when people are coming to forget their problems, and maybe a little of your time could help solve them, maybe a kind word from you would absolve them from feeling that they’re all alone.

Beaten down by the work no one sees, ‘cause it’s always full-on behind the scenes

Getting home at most once a year, and never bringing the glam and cheer – just watching TV just to get out of your head

Straw mat and a concrete floor, kind of looks like the city before, but that place had water and this one you have to go next door,

but next door they have a kitchen and some home cooked food, and a friendly ear to pry out the blues if you choose to forget for a moment that you are alone - yeah this is what the dream looks like.
