I Try Hard

(album: She Was A Boy - 2010)

I try hard to spread
my wings
You better look real high above
all things
You gotta stay together,
make things better

I try hard to learn
new things
You better work real hard,
on your fears instead
of fighting together,
work together

Try to see the reasons
why you sacrifice
and lie
The reason we continue to deny

I only hear you say
the answer is to pray
but what if God
himself is lost today

But all I can see
is our longing to belong in
We're all alone afraid
of the other side
the other side

Now that I have spread
my wings now
I don't want to fly
away from here
I want to stay forever,
make things better

I try hard to learn
new things
You better work real hard on your beliefs
instead of fighting together,
work together

Try the reason why
You take the reason
Why you fake the reason
You ignore all your mistakes

You say what's right
or wrong and feeling
you belong
You separate yourself and think
you're strong

But all I can see
is our longing to belong in
We're all alone afraid
of the other side
the other side

I try hard to spread
my wings you better
work real hard on your fears
instead of fighting together now,
work together
work together now
