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...
