Why Do I Worry?

Constantly reminding me of what I should be

Life falls into place

Terrified of what I'll find, this can't be right

Dreading every step I take

My mother with her precious smile

Looks at me with a tender eye

I have known all these years

And she says, "Don't worry, darling

If you are falling

Get up and start again"

Now I realize time can be kind

To those who know where to go

Oh, how I have tried with a worried mind

Can't find my way home

My father with his troubled past

Still strong he stands

He knows the hardship of this world

And he says, "Don't worry, baby

I know what I say, dear

If you're feeling lost, just look at me"

As strong as a mountain's height

As soft as a silent sigh

Deep down in my soul

Saying, "Why do you worry?

Wait and you'll see

This is the way it should be"

This is the way it should be

This is the way
