Keep Trying (Edited Version)

Oh Lord I’ve cried for so long The fears of being alone The emptiness that lingers on King from above show me happiness show me love Never knowing which way to turn Questions I keep asking myself There is so much confusion in my mind Advice my friends keep giving God in heaven hear my plea, help me help me Looking up to the sky with unanswered questions Hoping I see an answer I keep trying praying to you only I can hear it Sacrifices taken in stride while I hold my breath and pretend not to cry Keep trying is ringing in my ear Keep trying never give up Look into the mirror and deep into your eyes Look hard and sharp do you know the person you see Or is there a stranger staring back Life can be cruel, life can be kind You’ve got to shape yourself into what you feel is right Believe in who you are, know what you want Become what you believe in The motivation in your heart has to be strong and true The tears will come and go and your fears Will become your strength surviving day by day With what you learn on the way Tomorrow will come and go All your hopes and dreams The sky will once again shine A spirit flying free Sing with laughter in your heart Have faith in yourself and the Lord above The path you seek is closer than you think Keep trying, never give up never stop believing
