The government said that she could have it If she could pay the taxes on it. So with this hope so strong in her heart She asked all her neighbors to help her to start. People started hearing of her plight They all started sending money, to make things right. People from all walks of life came to give a helping hand Strengthening the foundation and plowing the land. Electricians, carpenters, plumbers too They all came because they had a job to do. She paid off the taxes right away, and as a religious entity Taxes she would no longer have to pay.
