I'm just arriving in the city
And there's music on my mind

Lookin' for my destination and
My home is far behind

'Cause it's a long road ahead
And you can make it in the end
I'm gonna make it with my friends
And I'm tryin'

It took me sometime to see it
Now I'm looking through this world
And it's gonna take some time before
I get back, help me girl

'Cause you can make it if you try
You gotta lay it on the line
And everything will be fine, if you try

Sittin' smokin' just a thinkin'
Is an easy thing to do

We gotta keep on trying for
The feelin' to come through

And it's a lonely way to live
You gotta take it, you gotta give
If you mistake it, just try again
And I'm trying, yeah

Ah ah ah, we got to keep on trying
Ah ah ah, we got to keep on trying
Ah ah ah, we got to keep on trying
Ah ah ah, we got to keep on trying
(Yeah, I'm tryin')
We got to keep on trying
(Yeah, I'm tryin'
We got to keep on trying
(Yeah)
We got to keep on trying
