i tried & tried sometimes i could not fly the way the crowd would
don't know why i don't mind but i did do all that i could
some might say, say i caved in say i gave up called me shameful
but i stuck to my gut & laid it all on the table
i always tell people to do what you love /
but what about me though am i truly in touch
more often than not i'm walking off in the dark /
no clue on who i am but i continue to march
i said left to the right to the left again /
when can i ever rest these heavy limbs
i've come too far or have i gone too far /
back and forth i battle on in this war
so when the wind's inexplicably blowing strong /
i need to hold on hold my soul in my arms
and when the rain falls and it's pouring a storm /
i just tilt my chin up and open my arms
and when i cross mountain tops cliffs and rocks /
the hardest part about the climb is uplifting my heart
and if i try and try and i trip and i fall / it's alright y'all i'm alright y'all
