 never had an ordinary day

 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

 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

 when you lost your husband

 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
 when the nights had grown colder
