I Gotta Try Lyrics

Words and music by Michael McDonald and 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)

(sung simultaneously with chorus 2)
Someone's tryin'
Someone's cryin' out
While we live under the gun
Someone's livin'
Someone's givin' up
