When The Payments All Come Due
14The kid on the corner selling lemonade
For homeless youth charity
They gave me a flower to put on my ear
They and the lemonade were so sweet
Please watch over them
When the shit hits the fan
When the chickens come home to roost
Please watch over them
Do what you can
When the payments all come due
The checkout clerk is somewhere else
Something’s clearly on her mind
I interrupt her reverie to ask for a receipt
I say thanks and she smiles
Please watch over her
When the shit starts to stir
When the chickens come home to roost
Please watch over her
When it all starts to occur
When the payments all come due
God they say laughs at us
And our best laid plans
From the homeless beggar in the street
To you with your followers and fans
Please watch over us
When we’re on the cusp
When the chickens come home to roost
Please watch over us
With compassion and love
When the payments all come due
Hi there! If you're new around these parts, welcome. I'm Jonathan Mann. I write a song every single day, and I've been doing that for the last 9+ years.
Through sick days, tired days, days with no inspiration, the death of my grandma, the breakup of a 5 year long relationship, the marriage to my wife and the birth of our son - I've never missed a day. This is my life's work.
