Endeavour What's the point of endeavour? Now I can no longer make you proud, Why should I strive to survive and thrive? Now you're no longer allowed. Why should I rise in the morning? What's the point in making a start, The sun may be shining outside, But never again in my heart. People ask me how I'm doing, 'I'm fine,' comes my stock reply, What am I meant to say? 'Since you left I've died inside'? Well that's not gonna happen, You've influenced me here, Regardless, you've always had A sympathetic ear. Your courage was inspiring, Your strength like that of steel, You remained so dignified Throughout your whole ordeal. If I could just be half of, The person that you were. I'd still be 50 feet tall, And twice the man, I swear. So that's the point of endeavour, As futile as it seems. I know you'd never want me, To give up on my dreams. And that's the point of endeavour, Now that the time has come. I make an oath to you, my child, To look after your mum.
