Lyrics Trying Joy Oladokun

Trying


I got brought up for an award today
Wearing clothes I bought out in LA
Back home my mother's crying
'Cause daddy's going blind
And it looks like sister's popping pills again

I don't think it ever ends
This feeling like you'll never win
Guess I don't mind it
'Cause I just keep trying
I've been down this low before
Fighting in a thousand wars
Not sure how far the line is
Hoping to find it
I just keep trying
I just keep trying

All my friends are unhappy
All my heroes are dead
People tell me their problems
Wonder why I don't rest
I'm trying to find my breathing
Trying to find the meaning
This life will not come around again

I don't think it ever ?nds
This feeling that you'll never win
Guess I don't mind it
'Caus? I just keep trying
I've been down this low before
Fighting in a thousand wars
Not sure how far the line is
Hoping to find it
I just keep trying
I just keep trying
I just keep trying
I just keep trying

I keep trying to hold my head up high through the storm
Trying to find some place of my own
Where life ain't as mean as it's been
I keep trying to soothe the savage sounds in my mind
Saying I've fallen too far behind
From the places I wanna go

I don't think it ever ends
This feeling that you'll never win
Guess I don't mind it
'Cause I just keep trying
I've been down this low before
Fighting in a thousand wars
Not sure how far the line is
Hoping to find it
I just keep trying
I just keep trying
I just keep trying
Not sure how far the line is

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
