Lyrics Michael McDonald

Michael McDonald

I Gotta Try

Maybe it's true what they say about

Maybe we can't make the ends meet

Maybe we'll all have to do without

Maybe this world's just incomplete

Well, we all look for truth in this life

Searching with hope inside

If it's so hard living in a desperate world

We all do the best that we can

Some people see a change

Some will remain the same

Others will 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 now

Oh, I've got to try, baby

Maybe it's too much to think about

Maybe there ain't nothin' left to say

But if our time is really runnin' out

Then this ain't no time to run away

'Cause we're destined to look

For the truth in this life

Searching with tearful eyes

If it's so hard livin' in a desperate world

Then tell me why was I born

Some people see a change

Some will remain the same

Others will 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 now

Oh, I've got to try, baby

Lonely, living so lonely

It ain't too late

To turn it all around

Some people see a change

Some will remain the same

Others will 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 now

Oh, I've got to try, baby

Someone's tryin'

Someone's cryin' out

While we live under the gun

Someone's livin'

Someone's givin' up
