IF WE TRY

IF WE TRY

WRITTEN BY JEFFREY ROBERT HILTON 

2018

GENTLY COMES THE NIGHT

AS TWILIGHT FALLS

ON THIS PEACEFUL SOLITUDE 

LOOKING FOR ANSWERS I MIGHT FIND

HIDDEN IN THE STARS

TIME SELDOM GIVES YOU WHAT YOU NEED

IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE

NOTHING I HAVEN'T PICTURED

A THOUSAND TIMES BEFORE 

I FOUND THIS LIGHT INSIDE

YOU KNOW I ALMOST CRIED

ALL THE DREAMS I HAD TO PUT ON HOLD

AND NOW THEIR TURNING TO GOLD

GODSPEED TO GET THERE

TO THE PLACES WE NEED TO BE

THE TIME I USED TO SPEND

USING UP THE SPACE

BETWEEN NOW AND THEN

NEVER REALLY KNOWING

HOW OR WHY

WE CAN ALL DO BETTER

IF WE TRY

I WAS HANGING ON

LOST AND LOST FOR WORDS

MY WORLD WAS EMPTY

OR IT'S FULL

YES I HAVE SEEN

THERE'S NO IN BETWEEN 

AS TWILIGHT FALLS AROUND ME

I SEE YOU

PUT YOUR ARMS AROUND ME

LAY DOWN BESIDE ME

AND DREAM YOUR DREAMS

I'LL BE THE ONE YOU LOVE

SEEN IT RISE AND FALL 

THEN BACK TO IT ALL

WHO I AM TODAY

IS NOT WHO I AM TOMORROW

DREAMS YOU THOUGHT WERE REAL

COME TO PASS JUST DISAPPEAR

IT'S TEMPORARY, ROOTED IN FEAR

NOTHING OR NOBODY

THAT CAN'T BE TURNED AROUND

YOU WON'T FIND THE ANSWERS

IN A DARKENED SKY

BUT IN THE RISING LIGHT

TEARS IN YOUR EYES

AS LIFE TOUCHES YOUR HEART

THAT'S WHERE YOU'LL FIND IT STARTS 

GENTLY COMES THE NIGHT

TWILIGHT SOFTLY FALLING AGAIN

DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH TIME I HAVE

BUT I CAN WAIT HERE WITH YOU

FOR ANOTHER SUNRISE

RIGHT HERE BY YOUR SIDE

WHERE I CAN LOOK INTO YOUR EYES

ASIDE FROM ALL THIS GRAY

I SEE DEEPER MEANINGS 

NOT LOST TO ME

I'LL BE THE ONE YOU LOVE
