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 falling 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
Chorus
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 grow
