There was a girl who rode a bike And her father held the seat And ran for his life right behind And when he was sure she wouldn't know Sometimes he'd just let go And there she was going on just fine But every time she looked back She crashed and burned You'd think she would have learned Still her dad was there to kiss her cheek and say "You have to try again Even if the world has seen you crying Try again It may be the hardest thing to do, But I'll be there to catch you when you fall." The girl grew up and lost her heart When she gave the deepest part To a person who would turn and walk away And as the weeks would pass her by She cried every tear there was to cry Till she was sure She was through with those sad days But every time she looked back She crashed and burned You'd think she would have learned But she would call her friends and they would always say "You have to try again Even if the world has seen you crying Try again It may be the hardest thing to do, But we'll be there to catch you when you fall." Everyone will fall a time or two and Time and mercy heal the wounds But the most important thing you can do Is whisper a prayer, and then as soon as you dare, Try again Try again Cause there is a world that's full of light But sometimes I can't forget Mistakes that I have made from time to time I wonder how different life would be If I'd gone a different way At some crossroad that's a thousand miles behind And every time I look back I crash and burn You'd think I would have learned But there's still a voice inside me that will say "You have to try again Even if the world has seen you falling Try again Try again Even if the world has seen you crying, Try again And the Lord will see you through, And he'll be there to catch you when you fall."
