Don't try so hard, don't try so hard
It's okay to go to bed
Or read a book instead
Or brush your lips across
Your precious son's head
Music is a prayer
That's trapped inside your head
Go ahead and live
Don't try so hard, don't try so hard
Maybe you're through
The worst things could be true
Think of all the time
And all that's left to do
There are people beside you
With the weight of glory too
Let's put on your shoes
Don't try so hard, don't try so hard
Put down your guitar
All beginning is hard
Look at where you've been
And find out who you are
Heaven seems so far
But music's just a start
A pinhole in the dark
Baby steps
Are not for beginners
They are a revolution
