Trying - Colony House

Take a breath

Lift your head

Fill your lungs and

Clear your chest

I’ve been trying, trying

Trying since the day I was born

Stand in line

Follow through

Have respect and

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-I

Want what is true

Looking for some li-ight

To carry me through

Ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

You know I don’t feel

So alone

'Cause every heart to ever beat is like the heart inside of me

That’s trying, trying

We’re all trying and desperate to be loved (Trying)

And to feel like enough

All these voices trying

To tell me I’m not

Oh, I-I

Want what is true

Looking for some light to carry me through

Ooh, just to make it to morning

All these voices trying (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)

Feels like all of this (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)

Is a

Flower blossom

Sparrow song and

Grace for every moment

Come what may
