Soliloquy of a Fool

I have chased after rainbows
 I've captured one or two
 I've reached for the stars
 I've even held a few
 I've walked that lonesome valley
 Topped the mountains, soared the sky
 I've laughed and I have cried
 But I have always tried
 I've always been a dreamer
 And dreams are special things
 But dreams are of no value
 If they're not equipped with wings
 So secure yourself for climbing
 Make ready for the flight
 Don't let your chance go by
 You'll make it if you try
 So try to be the first one up the mountain
 And try to be the first to touch the sky
 And try to be one that makes a difference
 Try to put your fear and doubt aside
 And try to make the most of every moment
 'Cause if you never try you never win
 So try each day to try a little harder
 And if you fall, get up and try again
 Nothing is impossible
 If you can just believe
 Don't live your life in shackles
 When faith can be the key
 The winner's one that keeps determination in his eyes
 Who's not afraid to fly and not afraid to try
 So try to be the first one up that mountain
 And try to be the first to touch the sky
 And try to count your blessings and keep counting
 And try to soar where only eagles fly
 And if you fail at first just keep on trying
 For you are not a failure in God's eyes
 The first step is the one that's always hardest
 But you won't amount too much if you won't try
 So spread your wings and let the magic happen
 'Cause you'll never really know if you don't try
 You gotta try, come give it a try, you have to try
 I know it ain't easy, who ever said it was
 Life is hard, same as it ever was
 You have to try
 When you think you can't do it
 Just try a little harder
 Just dig a little deeper and go a little further but try
 You have to try
 What every it is you're gonna get through it
 Let the spirit lead you I know you can do it
 Just try, just give it a try
 And whenever you think you ain't gonna make
 Put a smile on your face, suck it up and take it for awhile
 At least you know you tried
 Don't think that I don't suffer
 I know what I'm saying
 When I get to that place
 Where I start praying
 And I try
 Lord knows I try, yes I try
