One Thousand Today

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I’m thirty-two And tired by noon Rent due Friday Fridge looking thin Two jobs calling Still falling behind Whole week gone Just to stay alive If I had one thousand today I’d breathe again I’d fix the leak I’d buy back time I’d stop saying “next month” Like it’s a prayer [Pre-Chorus] And I know You know That feeling When the phone won’t stop And your hands stay full And every missed call Feels like money gone [Chorus] One thousand today Could change the day One thousand today Could open the gate Not rich Just right For one small win One thousand today Could help me begin [Verse 2] My sister sells cakes From a tiny room She bakes all night Then answers too A customer asks “Do you deliver?” She tries to reply While frosting the corner Then another message Then another one Then a lead goes cold Before it’s begun If I had one thousand today I’d buy her peace I’d buy her sleep I’d buy her a chance To stop doing ten things At the same time [Pre-Chorus] Because work don’t wait And people don’t wait And every reply Can turn into gold But who keeps up When the day runs long? Who follows through When you’re hanging on? [Chorus] One thousand today Could change the day One thousand today Could open the gate Not rich Just right For one small win One thousand today Could help me begin [Verse 3] Then came this voice On the other line Not loud, not slick Just right on time An AI Employee That answers customers Checks in later Books appointments for us It writes the reply When the shop gets busy It follows up When the hours get tricky It never sleeps It never drops the ball It works all night It works through it all And I watched that hope Land in her hands Like a key in the dark Like a second chance [Bridge] Listen That’s the thing It ain’t magic It’s relief A message answered A slot gets filled A lead gets saved A small dream held So if your day is heavy And your phone won’t quit You need somebody That won’t forget You need someone steady When the queue gets long You need help that stays When your energy’s gone [Chorus] One thousand today Could change the day One thousand today Could open the gate Not rich Just right For one small win One thousand today Could help me begin [Outro] A mother A barber A baker A kid with a dream One thousand today Can mean so much To the life in between And the help that stays When the world gets loud Can lift one person From under the cloud If you want to see the AI Employee in action, comment AI EMPLOYEE
