I don't know how to fix the world, I don't know how to fix myse-elf
It seems like we both need some love, it seems like we both need some he-elp
Maybe you could fix it with might, maybe you could stare it dow-own
Seems like some tenderness could turn the whole thing arou-ou-ound
I'm just trying to get the engine to turn, I'm just trying to smile through my tears
Then I still got so much to learn, but the best I can is what I got to give
Gonna give while I'm here Most days I wanna speed up, seems like I ought to slow dow-own
Maybe the pieces are here, I just took a good look arou-ound
Maybe the world feels like me, wishing someone would sing it a so-ong
'Bout how there's a lot of good here, about how it's done nothing wro-o-ong
I'm just trying to get the engine to turn, I'm just trying to smile through my tears
Then I still got so much to learn, but the best I can is what I got to give
Gonna give while I'm here
Sometimes there's a choir in my head, singing at the top of their voice Singing at the top of their voice, they sing "don't look back, don't be scared"
"Don't be scared" I'm just trying to get the engine to turn, I'm just trying to smile through my tears Then I still got so much to learn, but the best I can is what I got to give
Gonna give while I'm here
