Just for Love

I don't drink, take drugs, smoke or bet,
but multiple redundancies have burdened me with debt.
Health issues have not helped of course
and stupid mistakes fill me with remorse.

If I could invest in stocks, I would crash the market.
If I won a Ferrari, I'd have nowhere to park it.
But I am the world's luckiest man in one part of my life,
that's the love I have with my beautiful wife.

My wife is my life, my sunshine, my air.
With her in my life, I shouldn't have a care.
But she has a chronic condition that breaks my heart.
I have to leave to work, though I can't bear to be apart.

Being in the sun makes her feel better.
To a paradise island i would love to jet her
or, in an ideal world, have a place of our own,
retire, be together and never leave her alone.

I'm dreaming now, for I just cannot see
a day in the future where I will be debt free.
I rent my house, I finance my car
and, yes, I know there are people worse off by far.

I have a roof over my head and food on my plate
but to provide for our future, I need a clean slate.
I don't want the money for myself, my needs are clear.
It's for my wife and my son - everything I hold so dear.

So, if anybody out there offers the kindness I seek,
my hopes, my future, my life would be less bleak.
To clear my debts, to set me free,
to be the person my family deserve me to be.
