Try Again

There was a girl who rode a bike, and her father held the seat

And ran for his life right behind

And when he was sure she wouldn't know, sometimes he'd just let go

And there she was, going on just fine

But every time she looked back, she crashed and burned

You'd think she would have learned

Still her dad was there to kiss her cheek and say

You have to try again

Even if the world has seen you crying

Try again; it may be the hardest thing to do,

But I'll be there to catch you when you fall.

The girl grew up and lost her heart when she gave the deepest part

To a person who would turn and walk away

And as the weeks would pass her by, she cried every tear there was to cry

Till she was sure that she was through with those sad days

But every time she looked back, she crashed and burned

You'd think she would have learned

But she would call her friends and they would always say

You have to try again

Even if the world has seen you crying

Try again; it may be the hardest thing to do

But we'll be there to catch you when you fall.

Everyone will fall a time or two

And time and mercy heal the wounds

But the most important thing you can do

Is whisper a prayer, and then as soon as you dare

Try again

Try again

Cause there is a world that's full of joy

But sometimes I can't forget

mistakes that I have made from time to time

I wonder how different life would be if I'd gone a different way at some crossroad that's a thousand miles behind

And every time I look back I crash and burn

You'd think I would have learned

But there's still a voice inside me that will say

You have to try again

Even if the world has seen you crying

Try again

Try again

Even if the word has seen you crying

Try again

And the Lord will see you through,

And He'll be there to catch you when you fall.
