Spent a long time on my own last night   I think I spent a little bit over the top   It's just something in a bottle made me feel right   And I think that's why I couldn't stop      The man beside me had the warmest look of   Understanding in his eyes   As I went on about the laws, the barriers and things   That came upon me and my kind      I'm just trying to get through      We have words but sometimes words say too much   But they don't say enough   The boy meets the girl, sometimes they sail smoothly   And sometimes it's rough      I remember like a little child   Kicking against a stone wall that I built myself   I won't give in now, won't feel guilty   I'll just rise up, I'll have to be myself      Yeah, I'm just trying to get through   Trying to get through   So help me, I'm trying to get through   Can't you see I'm trying to get through   Oh, help me through      Trying      So listen people what I tell you now   Life is hard but it's worth keeping on   Listen people what I can tell you straight   It's not too late to      Try and get through   I'm just trying to get through   So help me, help me   Trying to get through   Yeah, yeah, I'm trying to get through   So help me, I'm trying to get through   Understand why I'm trying to get through
