Why Try Lyrics

Damned if I do, Damned if I don't

Damned if I will, Damned if I won't

Cook, clean, mind child, be pretty

Stand up for myself, then I look petty

Forgive your sins big and small

My tiny habits you list them all

Focus on the small points stealing joy

Carrying emotions like the Horse of Troy

Put you in my shoes and you can't walk

Put you in my head and you can't talk

Promised to be a partner at my side

But when trials come, can you stand the tide?

If a mess so small sends you running,

What will happen when life starts gunning?

When I try and I do, you don't see

But should I slip up you point fingers at me

I don't leave the house to report to work

But my duties at home I do not shirk

Drained and tired at the end of the day

No damn appreciation in any way

Complain bout the few things left undone

Overlooking the many victories I've won

Why try?

Because my development alone I own

Building up myself stone by stone

Where I lack, my efforts must be true

Learning from mistakes, my blessings accrue

Not changing at all that I cannot do

Just be careful Buddy I don't outgrow you

Your age a hindrance, my youth an asset

Our team should win on every facet

If the small foxes spoil the vine

Then the tiny mouses poison the wine

My part and parcel I will perfect

But your attitude I cannot affect

They say it takes two hands to clap

But with offence only one to slap

We must choose each and every passing day

To be better together in every way

Understanding and respect we both want

Decisions from the past still live and haunt

Overcoming them all our lives will need

Happiness and dreams always to feed

We try because we are humans still

With love and forgiveness, win we will
