Tift Merritt - Engine to Turn lyrics

I don't know how to fix the world I don't know how to fix myself Seems like they both need some love Seems like they both need some help Maybe you could fix it with might Maybe you could just stare it down Seems like some tenderness Could turn the whole thing around I'm just trying to get the engine to turn I'm just trying to smile through my tears And I still got so much to learn But the best I can is what I have to give Gonna give it while I'm here Most days I want to speed up Seems like I ought to slow down Maybe the pieces are here If I just took a good look around Maybe the world feels like me Wishing someone would sing it a song About how there's a lot of good here About how it's done nothing wrong I'm just trying to get the engine to turn I'm just trying to smile through my tears And I still got so much to learn But the best I can is what I have to give Gonna give it while I'm here Sometimes there's a choir in my head Singing at the top of its voice Singing at the top of its 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 And I still got so much to learn But the best I can is what I have to give Gonna give it while I'm here
