Two weeks, I went back Trying to find my way in society Found me a job Showing consideration For my relations I gave it a try Mother I have tried and cried Father I have tried and cried Brothers I have tried and cried Tried it your way Now I'll do it my way Two weeks, I smiled Though in my heart I cried repeated mistakes Long left behind Felt no desire To return But I gave it a try Mother I have tried and cried Father I have tried and cried Brothers I have tried and cried Tried it your way Now I'll do it my way Now I'll do it my way
