Just a Word
"Try"
Like a Bird Just Learning to Fly
"Try"
Just Do or Die, and Don't Ask Why?
No!! Never Do or Die and
Always Ask Why!! And
Look up to the Sky and
"Try"
Mommy Needs Your Help
And Asks You to Be Good
Smile, and Give Her a Thrill
And Let it Be Understood
That You Will
"Try"
Dreams Are Made from Trying
Not from Can'ts and Sighings
And You Can Give a Hand
To Do or Die , and
"Try"
Dreams, Are Stored up in Your Minds
And Most of Them, it Takes All Kinds
To Make a Kid Say, "Golly Miss Molly"
And for People to See You, Being So Jolly
"Try"
Never Lose Sight of Dreams and Schemes
Your Bodies and Minds, Will Work like Teams
Always Go Forward, and Never Look Back
Look Up, Not Down, and You'll Never Lose Track
Because You Will
"Try"
Now, These Words Come from Your Old Grandpa
And Someday, You May Be Talking to Your Ma and Pa
Or, Maybe Even to Your Mother-in-law
I'll Still Be Around, Somehow, Somewhere
Seeing to It, That You Remember
A Word, That Came to Me One Cold November
As You Sit There, Try to Remember
A Word So Small and Tender
"Try"
