Trying To Matter
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.
We walk, we fly, we stay sober, we get high
We sleep all day, stay up all night
Right a wrong, and live our lives
We work, we play, we leave, and we stay
We worry about tomorrow, today
We laugh, cry, cuss and pray
Tryin to matter to somebody
Tryin to get the time of day
Tryin to fit into this crazy world
Somehow, somewhere, someway
And it's all we're all lookin for
It's never too late ya know
To try and matter to the ones that matter most
I've lived, I've learned that bridges don't just burn
Well that's the devil's selfish pride at work
Every chance he gets he'll take his turn
Tryin to matter to somebody
Tryin to get the time of day
Tryin to fit into this crazy world
Somehow, somewhere, someway
And it's all we're all lookin for
It's never too late ya know
To try and matter to the ones that matter most
Tryin to matter to somebody
Tryin to get the time of day
Tryin to fit into this crazy world
Somehow, somewhere, someway
And it's all we're all lookin for
It's never too late ya know
To try and matter to the ones that matter most
It's never too late ya know
Tryin to matter to somebody
