If you want to try, try alone If you want to try, c'mon try alone Your clock it isn't ticking if you don't believe in time Your words aren't religious if you don't believe in signs The news doesn't claim you if your leader is inside The worth of forgiveness is a ride A war of grace If you want to try, try alone May your space be soft when you're with him, with her Think of luck and the taste of remedy Think of seeds you're wishing on The pact you made as a child: to dig and dig and dig And to unknow what you know again and again That grace is below the clay, the dirt, you dig From Earth a sound you know Fingers sinking into muddy water it feels nice You bring one hand to your cheek It smells like history and places you won't go Maybe you hear her sing When you're really listening Really listening You're covered in the dirt Covered in the light Covered in the Covered in the dirt Covered in the dirt Covered in the dirt And you'll be forgotten so another can try If you want to try, if you want to try, try alone
