Mandy Harvey, 29 years old singer and deaf. She loved to sing since she was 4, so we can imagine how crushed she was when her sickness robbed her of her hearing when she was 18. For a while, she gave up.
But she didn't let it keep her down forever. She was determined to get back to singing, and finally found her way. She created the song that she sang in the audition as a reminder for her to not give up:
Try
I don't feel the way I used to
The sky is grey more than it is blue
But I know one day I'll get through
And I'll take my place again
If I would try, If I would try, If I would try
There is no one for me to blame
'Cause I know the only thing in my way is me
I don't live the way I want to
That whole picture never came into view
But I'm tired of getting used to
So I will try, so I will try, if I would try, if I would try
Guys and gals, let’s try, OK? :)
