No Man's Land
Strength in Adversity: Living Beyond Plans
Lyrics
That house on the hill is long gone
The house that used to be on the hill is no longer there.
Now she's living in a trailer with an Astroturf lawn
She now lives in a trailer with artificial grass.
Got three little kids and no one to help
She has three young children and no one to assist her.
Trying to be Momma and Daddy all by herself
She's trying to fulfill both parental roles alone.
It's hard to hold down the fort when you're holdin' down a job
Juggling work and home responsibilities is challenging.
She'd rob Peter to pay Paul but he's already been robbed
She's financially strained, attempting to manage expenses.
She gets the food on the table and the clothes off the lines
She ensures there's food and clean clothes for her family.
She'd break down and cry but she doesn't have time
She's emotionally overwhelmed but lacks the time to express it.
She got to be strong, life goes on
She needs to remain resilient because life continues.
Though it's nothin' like she had planned
Her current situation differs greatly from her initial plans.
She's gonna be o.k. gonna find a way
Despite challenges, she believes she'll find a way to be okay.
Living in no man's land
She's existing in a challenging, difficult circumstance.
Every now and then late at night
Occasionally, she longs for intimate companionship.
She thinks of how it would feel to hold someone tight
She desires the feeling of holding someone close.
And there's a guy down at work he keeps callin' her up
A colleague expresses interest in her romantically.
But she ain't ready for none of that stuff
She's not emotionally prepared for a new relationship.
She's still sifting through the ashes of a love that's been and gone
She's still processing the aftermath of a past love.
Looking for a clue, trying to find out what went wrong
She seeks understanding about what caused her previous relationship to fail.
It ain't always easy, but she knows she's gotta try
Despite difficulties, she's determined to seek answers and move forward.
Every time she looks into her babies' eyes
Her motivation lies in the gaze of her children.
She got to be strong, life goes on
She needs strength to persevere as life continues despite challenges.
Though it's nothin' like she had planned
Her reality differs significantly from her intended life path.
She's gonna be o.k. gonna find a way
Despite hardships, she believes she'll discover a way to cope.
Living in no man's land
She's surviving in a difficult, uncharted situation.
She got to be strong, life goes on
She needs resilience as life carries on unexpectedly.
Though it's nothin' like she had planned
Her life doesn't align with her initial aspirations.
She's gonna be o.k. gonna find a way
She's confident she'll navigate through the difficulties.
Living in no man's land
She's coping with the challenges of an uncertain, difficult situation.
No man's land
She's in a place or state of uncertainty and difficulty.
