Kairos - I Try Lyrics

I try my hardest to prevail l but waking up everyday gets a bit harder
I try my hardest not to fail, using my strength but everyone feels stronger
I try my hardest to prevail, using my mind but everyone seems smarter
Ask me how I'm doing I'll say not too well, my biggest fear is being like my father
Trying to make sure that my boat sails, but everybody else sails so much farther
Almost lost my life that night, held it at my heart and almost pulled the trigger
Can't say I'm always thinking right, almost left mom son less and my sisters

And we're singing, and we're singing
And we're singing all the time

And baby I know, that time don't always take away your pain
And baby I know, you can hold an umbrella still feel the rain
And baby I know, they say it gets better but you feel the same
And baby I know, it kills to speak the past that comes with your name
They say just let go, but last time you did, nobody caught you what a shame
Be careful with what you throw, you know those sticks turn embers to flames
I saw the tears falling from her eyes, I was too young but I tried to save her
He promised her love and tried to take her pride, scars and abuse was all that he gave her

And we're singing, and we're singing
And even though we're hurt we see our dreams come true and
Dreams are what you make them, so let's get started
Save a little room for the broken hearted
Our pain is over now we're stronger than when we started

We're singing, and we're singing
We're singing, yeah we're singing
And we're singing all the time

I try my hardest not to fail, waking up everyday it's not harder
I try my hardest to prevail, using my strength I feel a little bit stronger
I try my hardest not to fail, using my mind I feel a little bit smarter
Ask me how I'm doing I'll say I'm doing well, I see all the good things in my father
I'm tryna make sure that my boat sails, and with everyday I know it sails a little bit farther
And we're singing and we're singing and we're singing all the time
