I just don't know

Trying not to let it rise

Trying to keep it down

Trying

Saw Jesus in the unemployment line

God, another bad day

Trying to believe in something

Forget something else

Trying

Saw Jesus eating a fish sandwich in a free kitchen

Oh God, just another bad day

Part of me wants to scream

Part of me wants to cry

Part of me refuses to give in

I just don't know

Trying

I saw Jesus begging for change to buy some wine

God damn it's another bad day

I remember youthful dreams

I try to forget adult nightmares

I grow so tired

But I can't give up

Gotta keep on

Trying

And I saw Jesus in the park

He was playing a home made guitar

He was singing the blues

I tossed him some change

And he smiled

And slowly said

"Keep on believing, keep on trying; it will get better"

And the sun came out

And I turned around

And I smiled

And I'll be damned if I didn't feel a little better

Gotta believe

Gotta keep on

Trying
