Can my heart be pure

give me time, I'm trying

They say if you seek

you will find, I'm trying

Oh, Take all the equations

of a cravers love for life

add them up

nothing could compare

i'd like to say

though times are rough

I'm trying

Can my thoughts be clean

like a stream, I'm trying

Can I be at peace

with myself, I'm trying

oh, even though the world

is overwhelming all my thoughts

I'm hangin on

nothing will be done

unless the world is woken up

and I'm trying

If I sound too lame

can you blame, me for trying

If I lighten up

will it stop, me from trying

Oh, shimmer in the dust appears

a golden ray of sun

though it shines

far off in the distance

it is right before your eyes

and I'm trying
