Take a breath
Lift your head
Fill your lungs
Clear your chest
I've been trying
Trying
Trying since the day I was born
Stand in line
Follow through
Have respect
Tell the truth
I've been trying
Trying
Trying since the day that I could
Play it right
Note for note
Sing it better
Sell the show
I've been trying
Trying
Trying but can't tell anymore
I've been trying
Trying
Trying since the day I was born
They say I've got my whole life to live but 27 years have been
Spent while I've been trying to feel like enough
All these voices trying to tell me I'm not
I want what is true
Looking for some light to carry me through
You know I don't feel so alone
'Cause every heart to ever beat is like the heart inside of me that
Trying
Trying
Trying and desperate to be loved
And to feel like enough
All these voices trying to tell me I'm not
I want what is true
Looking for some light to carry me through
Just to make it to morning
Flower blossom
Sparrow song
And grace for every moment
Come what may
