He's Trying Every Day
Everyday Struggle: A Tale of Sacrifice and Dreams
Lyrics
Up once again at 5 o'clock in the morning
Waking up again at 5 o'clock in the morning
Pulls on the pants he wore last night
Putting on the pants he wore the previous night
Drives off to work at 6 o'clock in the morning
Heading to work at 6 o'clock in the morning
Not home 'til dark at five past midnight
Returning home late at five past midnight
He's trying every day
Experiencing challenges and making efforts every day
He's trying day by day
Persistently trying day by day
Every day
Continuing the struggle every day
Missed all those nights asking how their day has been
Missing out on family moments, not asking about their day
Can't catch their eyes having a play with them
Unable to engage with family, lacking quality time
No parents night. No talent shows for him
Not participating in parental events or talent shows
Sad but he tries so they can grow without him
Sadly trying to provide for family, even if absent
He's trying every day
Continuing the daily effort despite challenges
He's trying day by day
Persistently trying day by day
Every day
Maintaining the struggle every day
Relying on his pay
Dependent on his income for survival
But dying many ways
Experiencing various forms of decline or hardship
Every day
Enduring challenges every day
Recalling when he could explore to find his truth
Remembering a time when he could seek his own truth
Bold as he was then he opened doors in his youth
Recalling a bolder, more explorative youth
Now back again working the schemes of others
Returning to a life directed by the plans of others
His hopes and plans belong to dreams of another
His aspirations and dreams now controlled by someone else
He's trying every day
Persistently trying to overcome challenges every day
He's trying day by day
Continuing the effort day by day
Every day
Enduring the struggle every day
Relying on his pay
Reliant on his income for survival
But dying many ways
Experiencing various forms of decline or hardship
Every day
Enduring challenges every day
He's trying every day
Persistently trying to overcome challenges every day
He's trying day by day
Continuing the effort day by day
Every day
Enduring the struggle every day
Relying on his pay
Reliant on his income for survival
But dying many ways
Experiencing various forms of decline or hardship
Every day
Enduring challenges every day
