I Tried
by Bryan Klinesteker
©️ 2020 all rights reserved

When I was born I could not raise my head
Stared up at the ceiling waiting to be fed
Brand new sounds and voices around me
I had to raise my head up high so I could see

So I tried and I tried
I finally raised my head and saw my mama’s eyes
I was proud, so was she
A significant achievement in the life of me
Cause I tried

When I was five I could not ride a bike
I felt very safe and steady on my three-wheel trike
One day a friend rode by on his new Schwinn
I said dad I’ve got to get one to keep up with him

So I tried and I tried
I wobbled and I fell with dad right by my side
I got up, tried again
Soon I rode my bike to school and back again
Cause I tried

- Instrumental -

We all struggle from our birth
To make our way and find our worth
Overcoming obstacles we face along the way
You’ll find your strength down deep inside
If you keep your faith alive
Knowing there will be a brighter day

For many years I stuttered when I spoke
Words stuck in my throat and almost made me choke
I prayed the teacher would not call on me
I’d get so embarrassed when I had to read

But I tried and I tried
It finally got easier as time went by
Now I speak what’s on my mind
I left those days of fret and worry far behind

Cause I tried and I tried
I left those days of fret and worry far behind
Cause I tried and I tried and I tried...
