Try

Never give up

So, I reach, and I reach

And I scream at the sky

I try and I try

And I try just to fly

But no matter how far I reach

Or how loud I scream

No matter how hard I try just to get by

All of my efforts end up the same

I'm falling short

Somebody catch me

I'm not enough

The sky's too far away

I reached and I reached

Oh, I wished for the sky

I tried and tried

But I couldn't fly

My wings are broken

I'm not okay

Thought I reached for a candle

Turns out I reached for a fire

And got burned by the blaze

But I'm still gonna reach

And I'm still gonna scream

Maybe I can't fly, but I can still try
