Just Rewards
I lived for the moment
I grabbed hold and I didn't relent
(the) skin of my teeth
Holds me longer
And now I come to claim my just rewards
Face down! ground down with no recourse
And now I come to claim my just rewards
The spoils of the toils are spent
Where is the right place?
Where is the right place, right time?
If the face fits, wear it
Faces fit while heart and soul slopes on
Scraping through - just rewards!
Dig the dirt - just rewards!
Hold your ground - just rewards!
Being sucked down - just rewards!
Where is the right place?
Where is the right place, right time?
When you lay down on your own law
You swim against the sanctimonious tides
Down not out - just rewards!
Looping tracks - just rewards!
Stunted growth - just rewards!
Dwindling hope - just rewards!
