One Job

"Ha, social work? 

That doesn't pay too much, huh?"

If you're talking about cash,

you're damn right it don't.

If you're talking about joy,

which I know you're not

because you don't think 

about that sorta thing,

then you're wrong. 

You're wrong if you think

I'm gonna follow a paycheck

instead of my dreams and my heart.

You're wrong if you think

certain people aren't worth caring about

just because they need 

a little more help.

But you're right if you think

I have my goals laid out,

I have compassion and soul

and love in my heart.
