Billy Pilgrim Try
Another sleepless night, turn off my light turn it off Open my books, take in silence, and wait for the dawn Lock myself into place Keep the sun off my face When the morning comes TRY to keep it all in sight Form one thought, break it off, take a breath, carry on You think you matter so much that you're the only one In your mind you're a star that I can see from afar Before you've even begun to TRY to keep it all in sight If you feel it then open your heart No need to ask it what for tried to conquer all in sight Walled their cities as high as they could Kept them apart from themselves Fought for ages and raged on the plains with reasons misunderstood but to the common good Raised up their idols proteced their own walked on dinosaur bones Spread a pestilent nature from mountain to sky Until the rivers ran dry and the rivers ran dry that they owned Watch the lights flash by my window Throw ghosts on the wall And every room in my house answers back when I call Trace the outline within Trust in dreams to begin TRY to keep it all in sight And TRY to work it all out TRY if you will, TRY if they won't You're damned if you do and you're damned if you don't TRY
