Story behind the song

A Brand New Original Song written as a reaction to a news story I saw where a man lost the only job he has ever known and was about to lose his house. He was afraid he would also lose his loved ones too because he could no longer provide for them. He broke down sobbing and shaking with fear in front of his wife and kids and I couldn't help but feel for this man.

Lyrics

Another corporate bailout in the news
Trying to stimulate a better day
Financially were all confused
Why am I the one that has to pay?

Lost my job just 2 weeks ago
Still havent told my wife
Pretend to go to work each day
Pretending I still have a life

What happened to our dreams?
Now theyre Spinning out of control
Where do we go from here?
Does Anybody Know?
I wish I could run and hide
Nowhere to go

This is how I spend my days
Walking down this jobless street
Hoping I might find a way
To keep my family on their feet

How we gonna pay our bills
Where can we afford to live?
Feel like such a failure now
Given all that I can give

What happened to our dreams?
Now theyre Spinning out of control
Where do we go from here?
Does Anybody Know?
I wish I could run and hide
Nowhere to go

Victim of unchecked greed
Left us in all this mess
While they satisfied their every need
Said to hell with all the rest

Now Ive lost all my sense of pride
Time to face the ugly truth
Never contemplated suicide
Have faith Love can pull us through

But can she still Love a man
Unable to provide?
Where do we go from here?
