Lyrics

Try

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I have chased after rainbows

I've captured one or two

I've reached for the stars

And I have even held a few

I've walked that lonesome valley

Topped the mountains, sewed a sky

I've laughed and I have cried

But I have always tried

'Cause I've always been a dreamer

And dreams are special things

But dreams are of no value

If they're not equipped with wings

So secure yourself for climbing

Make ready for the sky

Don't let your chance go by

You'll make it if you try

So try to be the first one up the mountain

The highest flying dreamer in the sky

And try your best to be an inspiration

Brothers that are still afraid and shy

And try to make the most of every moment

'Cause if you never try you never win

So try each day to try a little harder

And if you fail, get up and try again

You know nothing is impossible

If you can just believe

Don't live your life in shackles

When faith can be the key

The winner's one who keeps determination in his eyes

Who's not afraid to fly and not afraid to try

So try to be the first one up the mountain

And try to be the first to touch the sky

And don't let somebody tell you, you can't do it

And if they say that, show em it's a lie

And if you fail at first just keep on trying

'Cause you are not a failure in God's eyes

So spread your wings and let the magic happen

'Cause you'll never really know if you don't try

And the first step is the one that's always hardest

But you'll never really know if you don't try

You have to try
