When I was young, nothing seemed to touch me Even the force of a breaking day Nothing could prevent it from coming Yet it felt so far away Now I shouldn't be afraid of the journey Everyone must take to the sea But the wood and the iron beneath me Holds strong under my feet And gently urges me To try to take a step, to never look back And try to leave the past forever behind I've only to try Now that I'm a little bit older I'm aware of the path I should take And I can't count on having a partner To come and ease my way I've grown tired of needing excuses Always looking forward to the day Where I can touch my own freedom and choices With no need to explain No need to explain To try to take a step, to never look back And try to leave the past forever behind I've only to try, try Some thing's given and some things are taken away You've got to try You've got to try Something's given and somethings taken Somethings left behind Try, you've got to try Something's given and somethings taken Somethings left behind I've only to try
