I Gotta Try - Michael McDonald

Maybe it’s true what they say about it

Maybe we can’t make the ends meet

Maybe we’ll all have to do without it

Maybe this world’s just incomplete

Still we all look for truth in our lives

Searching from different sides

If it’s so hard living in a desperate world

But we all do the best that we can

Some people dream a change

Some will remain the same

All of us live their lives

Under the gun

Some see the road as clear

Some say the end is here

They say it’s a hopeless fight

But I say, I gotta try

Maybe there’s too much to think about

Maybe there just ain’t nothing left to say

But if our time’s really running out

Then this is no time to run away

'Cause we’re destined to look for truth in this life

Blinded by tearful eyes

If it’s no use trying in a desperate world

Then tell me, why was I born?

Some people see a change

Some will remain the same

All of us live their lives

Under the gun

Some see the road as clear

Some say the end is here

They say it’s a hopeless fight

But I say, I gotta try

Lonely, living so lonely

Is it too late

To turn it all around?

Some people dream a change

Some will remain the same

All of us live their lives

Under the gun

Some see the road as clear

Some say the end is here

They say it’s a hopeless fight

But I say, I gotta try

I gotta change

The world just remains the same

All of us live our lives

Under the gun

Someone’s sleeping

Someone’s giving up

Someone’s trying

Someone’s crying out

Still we live under the gun
