Michael McDonald - I Gotta Try lyrics

(Michael McDonald & Kenny Loggins)

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 the truth in our lives

Searching from different sides

So hard living in a desperate world

But we all do the best that we can

[Chorus 1:]

Some people see a change

Some will remain the same

But all of them 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, well I say I gotta try

Maybe there's too much to think about it

Maybe there ain't nothin' left to say

But if our time's really runnin' out

Then this is no time to run away

'cause we're destined to look for the truth in this life

Blinded by tearful eyes

If it's no use tryin' in a desperate world

Then tell me why was I born

[Chorus 2:]

Some people see a change

Some will remain the same

But all of them 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 too lonely

Is it too late

To turn it all around

[Chorus 2]

Someone's tryin'

Someone's cryin' out

While we live under the gun

Someone's livin'

Someone's givin' up
