Lyrics: First Try
Album: Telling Stories
Artist: Tracy Chapman
 

can’t run fast enough
can’t hide i can’t fly
i’m struggling with the limits of this ordinary life

i’m just a
just a
just a first try

can’t hear what you say
can’t see by the light
i’m struggling with the limits of this ordinary life

i’m just a
just a
just a first try

can’t say what i mean
can’t love from the heart
can’t trust in the mercy and the goodness in the world
can’t learn to accept that it’s alright
to struggle with the limits of this ordinary life

can’t be
just a
just a first try
can’t be
just a
just a first try
just a
just a
just a first try
