One Thousand Today

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I’m thirty-four, and tired Work been heavy on my back Rent came due last Friday And the fridge been looking sad My little boy needs shoes now His soles are split in two And I’m counting every dollar Just to make it through I got calls I couldn’t answer While I was loading boxes down Customers keep slipping by me By the time I look around My phone keeps blowing up late My hands stay stuck in place And I’m losing more than money I’m losing time and face [Pre-Chorus] If I had one clean thousand I could breathe again tonight Pay the catch-up on the bills And sleep without that fight But it’s more than just the paper It’s the way it changes me A little room to stand up tall A little room to believe [Chorus] One thousand today Could turn the whole week around One thousand today Could help me get my feet back down Answer the calls, answer the calls Follow up before they fade Book the next one, book the next one That’s how hope gets made One thousand today Could open the door I need One thousand today Could plant a better seed [Verse 2] Then I met an AI Employee On a Tuesday after lunch It started answering customers While I was stuck in the crunch It picked up every question It stayed polite and clear It never got distracted It never showed no fear It followed up that evening On the leads I left behind Booked the appointments neatly At the perfect time It works through every midnight It works through every dawn When I’m with my family The work is still moving on (Still moving on) (Still moving on) [Pre-Chorus] No more chasing after missed calls No more starting from zero It keeps the line open steady Like a tireless little hero And the calm that I been missing It came back through the door Now the day don’t break me open Like it did before [Chorus] One thousand today Could turn the whole week around One thousand today Could help me get my feet back down Answer the calls, answer the calls Follow up before they fade Book the next one, book the next one That’s how hope gets made One thousand today Could open the door I need One thousand today Could plant a better seed [Bridge] I used to think I had to carry Every burden by myself But now the list is getting smaller And my life is breathing well A mother can rest a little A father can look ahead When the work keeps working with you You can build what’s next instead (You can build what’s next instead) (Yeah) [Final Chorus] One thousand today Could turn the whole week around One thousand today Could help me get my feet back down Answer the calls, answer the calls Follow up before they fade Book the next one, book the next one That’s how hope gets made One thousand today Could open the door I need One thousand today Could plant a better seed If you want to see the AI Employee in action, comment AI EMPLOYEE.
