Trying ....

I am workin on making a presentation for a Good Friday service and the song Trying is going to be a crucial part of the service. The song will be played after 4 Gospel Readings. These Gospel Readings will be showing the confusion that the disciples had as they were trying to comprehend what Jesus was telling them.

Here are te lyrics. To me, one of the amazing things about the lyrics was that they were written when he was 15. The words and the music are powerful and I think words that float around in numerous peoples head.

Could you let down your hair
And be transparent for a while
Just a little while
See if your human after all
Honesty is a hard attribute to find
When we all want to seem like we've got it all figured out
I may be the first to say that I don't have a clue
I don't have all the answers
And god I pretend like I do just
Trying to find my way
Trying to find my way the best that I know how

Well I haven't memorized all the cute things to say
But I'm working on it
Maybe I'll master this art for today
I'd I qoute all the line off the top of my head
And you'd be
I dont understand all of these things Ive read
Im just trying to find my way
Trying to find my way
Trying to find my way the best that I know how

Well I havent drawn it or figured out quite yet
But even if it takes my whole life
To get to where I need to be
And if I should fall to the bottom of the end
I'll be one step back to you
I'm trying to find my way
Trying to find my way
Oh, I'm trying to find my way
Trying to find my way

Here is a video of them performing it.
