Tried So Hard

All I want to know
All I want to see
Is the path laid out for me?
Is that too much to ask
I beg you, and I plead
I want someone to help me see

I've tried so hard
I've worked so long
I've tried my best
To be strong
All within me fights
With all of my strength
Takes me to the brink
I am giving all I have
Is it ever enough
Maybe I'm not that tough
I've tried so hard
I've worked so long
I've tried my best
To be strong
Was there ever a time
When it wasn't a long, hard climb
When did it become a crime
To want to feel sublime?
I won't stand and someday die
Living but never even tried
I am being torn apart
For me, it's a matter of the heart
This is the last time, I am the last in line
Your days are numbered, and so are mine
I wish everything was going to turn out fine
It is too late to expect a sign

Whatcha doin out there
Wishing your life away, Praying for another day
You're a dreamer, you're a thinker, You dream your life away

Eyes to the blind, feet for the lame
Took up the case of a stranger, Christian is my name
Paranoia coming on you, you want to know what to do
