Find your way through the dark of each day
Any way you can now, try to understand
If this is only half of what I feel, the other half may still be real if I could only find it and then follow
What other choice is there for me here but to try? To try. There’s no other choice here but to try!
If the chains of love can cut both ways, if all of us are castaways, if God moves in ungodly ways, it follows
What other choice is there or could be but to live? To live. There’s no other choice here but to live!
Find your way through the dark of each day
Any way you can now, try to understand
If love lives only in my dreams, if little here is as it seems, if music be the stuff of dreams, it follows
What other choice is there for us here but to sing? To sing. There’s no other choice here but to sing!
If only heaven holds my hand, if only angels understand, if only hope could come again I’d follow
What other choice is there or could be but to dance? To dance. There’s no other choice here but to dance!
Try to understand. Try to understand
If what I love can’t love me back, if all I know is what I lack, if what you see is just an act, it follows
What other choice is there for us here but to love? To love. There’s no other choice here but to love!
If I can only take so much this time, and like a poem without a rhyme, there’s no one else to blame this time, admit it
What other choice is there or could be but to beg? To beg. There’s no other choice here but to beg!
Find your way through the dark of each day
Any way you can now, try to understand
So if only in this little town as the wider world goes spinning round, we will plant the seeds of common ground between us
What other choice is there for us here but to be? To be. There’s no other choice here but to be!
So I will tell the story of us all, the fatal fall, the know-it-all, the slip and fall, the curtain call that follows
What other choice is there or could be but to tell? To tell. There’s no other choice here but to tell!
Try to understand. Try to understand
Just try
