Working Man
Eterna Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey, working man, such as your job
Has been taking you,
Your bills are consuming your money
For the costs you incured!
Hey, working man, your children are waiting
For food everyday...
Every corner you have descendance adopted
For love!
Hey, working man, come and go and if youre trying
To be a sharing man: with just a little and bestow!
Tell me the reason, show me no lies.
Tell me the reason why.
Hey, working man, youre humbling yourself
With the truth of the love...
World wide starvation
Is your burden and cost you incured!
Hey, little man, amazing behavior
You have to show it...
I think that it is really
Concerning to the Lords power!
Hey, honest man, to live at the expense of nobody
You want to be a sharing man: with just a little and
bestow!




Tell me the reason, show me no lies.
Tell me the reason why.
