I'Ve Tried
I look and stare
Get into this state of mind
I finally noticed
We are in a world
That is turning blind
Blind far beyond the eyes
The way we are turning on one another
Is not a surprise
Its sad ??
That we can't get along
Were losing the possibility
Letting our right
Get confused with the wrong
But you're strong
Some would say
Why not give a display
Of how to exist
And not just live
I am a human
Still running in this race ??
I am still here
Thanking him for his Grace
I've tried to make sense
Of everything that's presented
We are on borrowed time
Seems like your rented
Not resented
I've tried
Lord knows I have
Everyday
That life is granted
I treat myself
Like the soil
From the plant
That's already been planted
I've tried
I've tried
Yes like a million times
Over and over
Again and again
Trying to live perfect
Overcoming obstacles from within
We all sin lets be honest
Lets be true
Trying is the best option that's left to do
But what if trying
Doesn't appear to work
What if all you want is better
But it seems like you cant get it together
Trying to balance
Trying to manage life
Trying to do right
Yes that's so real
Trying without giving up
Doing whatever it took
To make it
Yes I've tried
Yes I can
Trying to give a helping hand
To a dying land
Yes a cry out
For help
People need people
We cant do it by ourself
I want the wealth
That lies in my heart
And as I much as I've tried
I think im off to a great start
