The Bottom Line

By Bruce Clifford

Racing for the bottom line
For images I can never find
Tracing moments of evaporation
Hide the wave of anticipation

Hidden sparkles raise the dust
Fortune and faith in which we trust
Take me to another land
Let's divide the pieces and lie in the sand

Reaching for the bottom line
Hold on tight, it's hard to find
Capturing egos in communication
The quiet noise of desperation

The bottom line is on the edge of time

Racing for the bottom line
Turn to pieces and sub-divide
Take away the false elation
Guide the way to instant salvation

Hidden sparkles raise the dust
Fortune and faith in which we trust
Take me to another land
Let's divide the pieces and lie in the sand

Reaching for the bottom line
Hold on tight, it's hard to find
Capturing egos in communication
The quiet noise of desperation

The bottom line is on the edge of time
