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

Try

To leave the past forever behind

I've only to try.

Now that I'm a little bit older

I'm aware of a 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, no need to explain.

To try

To take a step, to never look back

Try

To leave the past forever behind

I've only to try.

Try (only just to try)

Try

Some things given, and some things are taken away

Ya we let go of some things.

You've got to try

Some things given and

Some things taken

Some things left behind.

I've only to try.
