I don't know how to fix the world
I don't know how to fix myself
Seems like we both need some love
Seems like we both need some help

Maybe you could fix with might
Maybe you could just stare it down
Seems like some tenderness could turn the whole thing around

I'm just trying to get the engine to turn
I'm just trying to smile through my tears
And I still got so much to learn
But the best I can is what I have to give
Gonna give it while I'm here

Most days I want to speed up
Seems like I ought to slow down
Maybe the pieces are here, if I just took a good look around

Maybe the world feels like me
Wishing someone would it a song
About how there's a lot of good here
About how it's done nothing wrong

I'm just trying to get the engine to turn
I'm just trying to smile through my tears
And I still got so much to learn
But the best I can is what I have to give
Gonna give it while I'm here

Sometimes there's a choir in my head
Singing at the top of its voice
Singing at the top of its voice
They sing, don't look back
Don't be scared, don't be scared

I'm just trying to get the engine to turn
I'm just trying to smile through my tears
And I still got so much to learn
But the best I can is what I have to give
Gonna give it while I'm here
