Try Harder

(альбом: Denim & Diamonds - 2022)

I used to think that it was all in my head
Like some kind of condition from a book that I read
I couldn't take much more than I'd been through
So I called up the doctor said what should I do
He told me

Sometimes you gotta try a little harder
Try a little harder to get what you want
Keep singing
Sometimes you gotta try a little harder
Push a little farther just to make it on your own

I woke up to some bad news today
Just when I thought things were finally going my way
But my car won't start and I got piles of bills to pay
But when life gets you down well you know what they say

Sometimes you gotta try a little harder
Try a little harder to get what you want
Keep singing
Sometimes you gotta try a little harder
Push a little farther just to make it on your own

Make it on your own
Make it on your own
Make it on your own

One of these days you're gonna wake up and find yourself
Wondering if you done right or shoulda done something else
It gets hard to believe you're gonna find a way
But that's the price you pay

Looking back to where it all began
At the edge of the world with my toes in the sand
I cried out "daddy what if I can't swim?"
He said "you'll never know if you don't dive in"
Keep singing

Sometimes you gotta try a little harder
Try a little harder to get what you want
Keep singing
Sometimes you gotta try a little harder
Push a little farther just to make it on your own

Make it on your own
Make it on your own
Make it on your own
