I don't know how to fix the world
I don't know how to fix myself
Seems like we both need some love,
Seems like we both need some help

Maybe you could fix with might
Maybe you could just stare it down
Seems like some tenderness could turn the whole thing around

I'm just trying to get the engine to turn
I'm just trying to smile through my tears
And I still got so much to learn,
But the best I can is what I have to give,
Gonna give it while I'm here

Most days I want to speed up
Seems like I ought to slow down
Maybe the pieces are here, if I just took a good look around

Maybe the world feels like me,
Wishing someone would it a song,
About how there's a lot of good here,
About how it's done nothing wrong

I'm just trying to get the engine to turn,
I'm just trying to smile through my tears
And I still got so much to learn,
But the best I can is what I have to give,
Gonna give it while I'm here

Sometimes there's a choir in my head,
Singing at the top of it's voice,
Singing at the top of it's voice,
They sing, don't look back
Don't be scared Don't be scared

I'm just trying to get the engine to turn
I'm just trying to smile through my tears
And I still got so much to learn,
But the best I can is what I have to give,
Gonna give it while I'm here
