lyrics

Two steps forward three steps back
The hardest march you’ve ever had
You step or get stepped on by all that cross your path
Two failures to each success
As you spiral inside your head
Trying to balance the gains against the losses

It might not be a perfect life
It might not even be alright
What matters most is that you're trying and in that you can take pride
You're trying and in that you can take pride

Giving more than what you get
Hardly feeling like your best
And all you want to do is stop and take a rest
But no matter the time you take
Trouble ahead patiently waits
Eager to find new ways to put you in your place

It might not be a perfect life
It might not even be alright
What matters most is that you're trying and in that you can take pride
You're trying and in that you can take pride

I know it’s real hard right now
With the whole world crashing down
Why bother to come out when you could just check out
The voices saying that to you
Are forgetting a few truths
Try to hold on to the following one for now

It might not be a perfect life
It might not even be alright
What matters most is that you're trying and in that you can take pride
You're trying and in that you can take pride
