i've chased after rainbows
i've captured one or two
i've reached for the stars
i have even held a few
i've walked that lonesome valley
topped the mountain
soared the sky
i've laughed and i have cried
but i have always tried
i've always been a dreamer
and dreams are special things
but dreams are of no value
if they're not equipped with wings
so secure yourself for climbing
make ready for the flight
don't let your chance go by
you'll make it if you try
so try to be the first one up the mountain
and try to be the first to touch the sky
and try to be the one to make a difference
try to put your fear and doubt aside
and try to make the most of every moment
'cause if you never try
you never win
so try each day to try a little harder
and if you fall
get up and try again
nothing is impossible if you can just believe
don't live your life in shackles
when faith can be the key
the winner's one that keeps determination in his eyes
who's not afraid to fly
and not afraid to try
so try to be the first one up that mountain
and try to be the first to touch the sky
and try to count your blessings and keep countin'
and try to soar where only eagles fly
and if you fail at first
just keep on tryin'
for you are not a failure in god's eyes
the first step is the one that's always hardest
but you won't amount to much if you don't try
so spread your wings and let the magic happen
'cause you'll never really know if you don't try
you gotta to try
come give it a try
you have to try
oh
i know it ain't easy
whoever said it was?
life is hard
same as it ever was
but try
you have to try
when you think you can't do it
just try a little harder
just dig a little deeper and go a little farther
but try
you have to try
whatever it is
you're gonna get through it
let the spirit lead you
i know you can do it
just try
just give it a try
and whenever you think you ain't gonna make it
put on a smile on your face
suck it up and fake it for awhile
at least you know you tried
don't think i don't suffer
i know what i'm sayin'
when i get to that place
well i start prayin'
and i try
lord knows i try
i try
