I Did My Part

(album: You And You Alone - 1998)

I did my part, I tried my best
I gave my heart, I took no rest
Time will tell, if I left my mark
But I'll know full well, I did my part.

When I look down that road
What do I see?
My children's, children looking
Right back at me.
When they look back at me, and I'm
Long gone away
Will they think kindly of me
When they hear me say.

I did my part, I tried my best
I gave my heart, I took no rest
Time will tell, if I left my mark
But I'll know full well, I did my part.

When I look down that hall
What do I see?
A little baby crawling
Right back to me.
I cannot walk for him
I cannot run
But I can hold his hand
And show him how it's done.

I'll do my part, I'll try my best
I'll give my heart, I'll take no rest
Time will tell, if I left my mark
But I'll know full well, I did my part.

Build a family, build a city
Build a country, build a world.

[Instrumental]

Time will tell, if I left my mark
But I know full well, I did my part.

I know full well, I did my part...
