 never had an ordinary day
                            C       Em
 never lived your life in an ordinary way
                      C       D        G
 for everything you loved you paid a price
        C                           D
 but you couldn't let the world see you cry

        C       D       G
 never had a moment of peace
                                 C             Em
 never felt the sunlight when the worries set you free
                 C      D       G
 every time your life turned a page
        C                           D
 it seemed like your heart might break

                 C
 with the world on your shoulders
        Em
 when the nights had grown colder
               A7(9)                         D7(4)  D7
 you seemed to weather every storm with a queen's grace
                 C
 when you lost your husband
        Em
 when you buried your children
               A7(9)               D7(4)                D7
 I'm sure the angels stood in reverence as you prayed

 never had a day to call your own
                            C       Em
 when so many needed your warm heart as a home
               C              D        G
 whispering a mother's lullaby
        C                D
 as you sat alone by the fire

                 C
 with the world on your shoulders
        Em
