Try

I try to see the path that I am meant to see
Try to ask the world, “What do you need from me?”
I try to smile at the stranger who seems sad and alone
Try to walk the old man across the road

I know I try, Lord knows I try
I know I try, Lord knows I try
Oh try

I like to touch the wind cause it’s not scared at all
Sometimes I cry over leaves as they begin to fall
I often tell myself that I must become that friend
Who is always front and center in the stand

I know I try, Lord knows I try
I know I try, Lord knows I try
Oh try

I’ve given birth to a baby with the rising of the moon
Laid down my last defenses to the elephant in the room
I’ve seen my words flying free like bubbles on the breeze
And vowed I’d never, ever speak that way again

I know I try, Lord knows I try
I know I try, Lord knows I try
Oh try

I know I try, Lord knows I try
I know I try, Lord knows I try
Oh try
