You had to try (A song for my mom)

I don't understand how you loved me
I don't understand how you took care of me
Tell me what is the source of your sweet sweet love
How could you have stood the weight of life

I don't understand how you loved me
I don't understand how you took care of me
Tell me what is the source of your sweet sweet love
How could you have stood the weight of life

When all your dreams had vanished
And all your hope was gone

When all your dreams had vanished
And all your hope was gone

I guess you had to try everyday
And you had to try everyday
Oh you had to try, you had to try
You had to try everyday

When all your dreams had vanished
And all your hope was gone

When all your dreams had vanished
And all your hope was gone

I guess you had to try everyday
And you had to try everyday
Oh you had to try, you had to try
You had to try everyday

What I'm trying to say...

When I see a bird flying
I think of you
'Cause you're so free
You so freely move

When I see a child smiling
I think of you
'Cause you're so easy
Easy going, too

I guess what I'm trying to
Say to you
Is that I
Is that I

When I see a blind man walking
I think of you
'Cause you're so clumsy
But you know where you're going to

When I hear a deaf man singing
I think of you
'Cause you're so out of tune
Yet sing a great melody

I guess what I'm trying to
Say to you
Is that I
Is that I
