I've tried and I have failed, Lord
I've won and I have lost
I've lived and I have loved, Lord

Some times, at such a cost

[Chorus:]

One thing I know
The world's been good to me
A better place, awaits you'll see


Some days I'm so confused, Lord
My past gets in my way

I need the ones I love, Lord
More and more each day


Oooh, a better place.
