I Who Have Tried
Who will cry for the boy who has fallen?
Who will mourn for the child that has died?
Who will smile for I who have tried?
When my brother has fallen, I was there
When a child has died, I have cried.
But will you smile for I who have tried?
Will He ever stop giving and taking?
Will He ever stop the torture?
Will He ever hear me? I who have tried?
I who has tried to keep peace.
I who has tried to keep love.
I, who have tried.
