Refrain:



Open your eyes and just look down

You're not that far above the ground

And when you've found you can't hold on

Open your eyes and look around

Suddenly you're fallen down

And when you've found you can't hold on



Little Sara's out the door

and she's needing so much more

In her mother's heels she heads downtown



With homework left to do

she's gonna find someone new

and come creeping home without a sound



Jesse walks the halls alone

Her head held down she thinks of home

Daddy's face keeps running through her head



She hears the school bell ring at three

and knows that she's no longer free

Another night to cry herself to bed



Refrain



Stanley works his life away

Gone years without a raise

Silent rage he's been taking home



And only Jane can feel his pain

'cause she's the one who pays

Living alone until her kids are grown.
