Willing To Try

(album: Natural - 2017)

I came upon the sunlight
On a cloudy afternoon in the park
She stood there with her eyes wide
A little innocent work of art
I heard voices all around me
But they couldn't break her heavenly spell
She said to plunge deeper
To find a clearing in the muddied well

On again, off again
End of day, and begin
More hellos than goodbyes
Always be willing to try
Try
Willing to try

Another generation
Snuck up on me like a bumblebee
To pollinate the flowers
I took solace in so frequently

Suddenly, times are changed
Forcing you to rearrange
The remnants of a former life
Always be willing to try
Try
Willing to try
Willing to try

If I stand still here long enough
My struggles will blow away with the wind
And yes, they may drift on back to me
But I know it'll be all right
It'll be all right
Yes I know it'll be all right

She ran out of the sunlight
Into the cradle of her mother's arms
I held steady to the feeling
I knew would keep me safe from harm
With reminders all around me
I have only to open my heart
Allow the complications
To be inevitably taken apart

On again, off again
End of day, and begin
More hellos than goodbyes
Always be willing to try
Try
Willing to try
Willing to try
Willing to try
