I Try

It ain't easy being me I have to have a lot of loving Fighting nightmares from my dreams Shaking from the storm they're drumming Lord you know I try my best I fight hard and stand my ground But the dreams they keep coming Cycling torment round and round Lord you know I try my best Please don't put me through this test Let me find my peace and live Is that too much for you to give... In my heart I feel such pain In my mind the dreams are so real Images of hurtful times Shake me hard and make me reel Lord you know I try my best I try to focus on good times But the things that I see hurt Why must I pay for his crimes Lord you know I try my best Please don't put me through this test Let me find my peace and live Is that too much for you to give... In the morning when the sun shines bright I sit and recall all my dreams last night I've suffered this enough for now Need to find some peace somehow Then the cycle starts again I'm so tired and feel so drained I go on fighting thoughts all day Oh Lord please make this go away Lord you know I try my best Please don't put me through this test Let me find my peace and live Is that too much for you to give...
