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 don't wanna live the crazy life

And I don't wanna pick a crazy wife

And I don't wanna be that crazy guy

Who lost what I had inside, mmh

And I don't want the sinners destiny

And I don't wanna miss what's best for me

So I'm gonna take what's left of me

Swallow pride, at least I

I gotta make a sincere effort to be

All that you called me to be, Lord

I just don't wanna stay here, living beneath

I owe it to me to at least try

So I'm gonna try

Try, try, try, try

See I'm gonna try

Try, try, try, try

A little harder this time

This time, this time

I'm gonna try

Try, try, try, try

See Lord I wanna know Your plan for me

And I gotta follow faithfully, yeah

So teach me to abandon all that

Makes me comfortable, so basically

I gotta make a sincere effort to be

All that you called me to be, Lord

I just don't wanna stay here, living beneath

I owe it to me to at least try

So I'm gonna try

Try, try, try, try

See I'm gonna try

Try, try, try, try

A little harder this time

This time, this time

I'm gonna try

Try, try, try, try

Tell me what I need to do

So I can be close to you

I only wanna make you smile

This time's different

Tell the heavens to watch me

While I try

Try, try, try, try

See I'm gonna try

Try, try, try, try

A little harder this time

This time, this time

I'm gonna try

Try, try, try, try

See I'm gonna try

Try, try, try, try

I'm gonna make a sincere effort to be

All that you want me to be, God

I just don't wanna stay here living beneath

I owe it to me to at least try

I owe it to me to at least try

I owe it to me to at least try

Mmh, 'cause if it's God I'm after

Just can't serve two masters

Before something happens

I gotta turn it all around

'Cause I just can't have my cake and eat it too

'Cause it's real easy to stay on the fence and still do you

And itd' be cool if we can love the Lord and still go do our thing

But see it doesn't work like this, we gotta be white or black

I'm gonna try

Try, try, try, try

See I gotta try

Try, try, try, try

A little harder this time

This time, this time

I'm gonna try

Try, try, try, try
