Try For Thunder - Chamberlain

I haven’t smiled in a long time

But I’ve learned how to look impressed

Learned to lose the dreams I had

When I was at my best

When I was a boy on the back lawn

Faith, like a gun, I’d find

And be it loaded or not

I’d keep it at my side

This voice inside keeps saying

Congratulations on what you’ve done

On all you are

And all that you won’t become

But even when it’s hard

I guess, I’m never where I don’t belong

And I’ll get there by knowing

I’d get there all along

This life to me it’s like a try for thunder

This sky that I’m under it’s the best sky for me

I’ve learned less from daylight

Than from night threatening to leave

All along my voice goes after

What my hands cannot reach

I ran through the fog without you

Through the low hard language of rain

Afraid that if I caught

What I came for

I’d never want it again

This life to me

It’s like a try for thunder

This sky that I’m under

It says God’s been good to me

One night in the rain you set me straight

You said I have everything I need

And for every slow day in the sun

There’s two storms in between

Where I am is where you’ll find me

At the edge of many things

Hands outstretched, doing circles in the rain

Grinning like a thief

This life to me

It’s like a try for thunder

This sky that I’m under

It says God’s been good to me
