And what a strange place to be
Nineteen years of calling on and off uncertainty
And what a strange way to live
But I try I I try I try my best to give

I raise my voice I have a choice to take this photograph
Be still the present, past and future moments never last
Better times, in black and white, although they look so sad
But I try I try I try my best to give
But I try I try I try my best to live

And things don't seem the way they should
Please believe me, Please Believe me that they could
But I don't feel the way I know they think a person should
But I (I) Know I could
But I (I) Know I could

I'm wanting more, what I don't need, but still it makes me laugh
I wait in line, just to receive, but they don't let me have
The bread, the wine, we run we hide from things that make us mad
But I try I try my best to give
But I try I try my best to live

And things don't seem the way they should
Please believe me, Please Believe me That they could
But I don't feel the way I know they think a person should
But I (I) Know I could
But I (I) Know I could

A lonely road, I walk alone the one you never find
An empty road, I find a phone, I try, I drop a line
The only one that never fails me when I want to find
And I try I try my best to live
And I try I try my best to live
And I try I try my best to live
And I try I try my best to live
