Thorvald - But If We Try Lyrics

I've been trying and trying again
But everything I say and everything I can't
Won't give me enough tears to build a dam
And in the end, I'm just one man

I'm alone and scared and most importantly
Powerless
My will is still here but it drains by the hour lest
I save it with water, a willowing flower but
I'm all out of tears, the idea makes me cower

Save all the bickering, it won't make a change
You have me shivering, it's all so strange
We're put on this earth, and now we die
And we take all with us, I wonder why

But if we try
We might have one more chance
To save the lives
Of the ones that can't
And when we cry
We show that we care
One more goodbye
To our lives of the past
And when we die
Will you hold my hand?
And tell me why
There was no promised land?

Here I am again, singing the same song
It was here before, and it'll be gone
In a year or two when I'll have stopped caring
The pain of the world, it's overbearing

We take and we take, but when do we give back?
When there's nothing to take, what's next?
I mean it makes me want to scream
Makes me want to shout
I'm desperately looking for an out

It's all a cycle, and I don't know what
Death means
If only we'd recycle, maybe that would be
The answers to unknowing,
The answer of what's new
I wish I knew

But if we try
We might have one more chance
To save the lives
Of the ones that can't
And when we cry
We show that we care
One more goodbye
To our lives of the past
And when we die
Will you hold my hand?
And tell me why,
There was no promised land?

Same old pain, same old story
Same old stain, the stain of worry
Same old tears, bound to bend
Same old song, same old end
