Never had an ordinary day,
Never lived your life in an ordinary way.
For everything you loved you paid a price
But you couldn't let the world see you cry.
Never had a moment of peace,
Never felt the sun light when the worries set you free.
Every time your life turned a page,
Seemed like your heart might break.
With the world on your shoulders,
When the nights had grown colder,
You seemed to weather every storm with a queens grace.
When you lost your husband,
When you buried your children,
I'm sure the angels stood in reverence as you prayed.
How much can one heart take?
How much can one heart take?
Never had a day to call your own,
So many needed your warm heart as a home, whispering a mother's lullaby
As you sat alone by the fire.
I'm sure your heart breaks
When some people still say,
Somewhere down the line you lost your faith.
How much can one heart take?
How much can one heart take?
