I know sometimes
You don't know why
Everything is hard

If you try your best
And get some rest
One day you can start

A family, a community, a home for you and me
A family, a community, a place for all to be

When I was
A little boy
I watched my Grandma die

A young lad
Not half past five
I couldn't help but cry

The very last words
I remember were
"You can make it if you try"

A family, a community, a place for you and me
A family, a community, a place for all to be

Bukowski told me
A different story
Like night upon the shore

His gravestone left
An unanswered quest
What was his life for?

"Don't Try" it read
With bottle to breast
He grimly slipped towards

Debauchery, incongruity, truth-less truth for me
Debauchery, incongruity, truth-less truth for me
A family, a community, a home for all to be

I know sometimes
You don't know why
Everything is hard

If you try your best
And get some rest
One day you can start

A family, a community, a place for you and me
Debauchery, incongruity, truth-less truth for me
Debauchery, incongruity, truth-less truth for me
Debauchery, incongruity, truth-less truth for me
Debauchery, incongruity, truth-less truth for me
