We're the lonely souls
That walk the only road we have ever known
We work our hands to the bone trying to survive
Callused skin our shoes wear thin with every stride
Can you help us make this right

Lord you know we try to get by
Lord you know we try to get by

We're the dreamers the one who wear our hearts on our sleeves
Living day to day just trying to make something better out of me
Thought I would let you know and oh I hope it shows

Lord you know we try to get by
Lord you know we try to get by

We're the lonely souls that walk the only road we have ever known
Can you help us make it threw

Lord you know we try to get by
Lord you know we try to get by
