So Hard I Try

There are times I feel so far

From where I want to be

But I know You've been there too

And now You're here with me

My roots' in the ground

Head's in the clouds

How I wish I could leave

I'm branching out to heaven

Bound to the dirt

But I can see the sun

Chorus:

No matter how high

I'm reaching out for what I can't hold

So hard I try

But I'm holding on to what I can't reach

In the summer it's easy to find a reason

To keep on growing strong

But in the autumn when my leaves fall

So do my hopes and I can't find a reason at all

Though storms wrestle my faith

I'll bend but I won't break

The clouds make it seem

The light is gone

But I can see the sun

Though storms may wrestle my faith

I'll bend but I won't break

The clouds make it seem

That all the light is gone, but I can see the sun
