Lyrics

Obstacles
By D'Simone

Is it any wonder
That we fall
When there's so much stacked against us
After all

And they sell you packages of hope
That you can buy
But when you open up the box
There's nothing inside

[Chorus]
And all I see
Is people looking
Right through me
And all I can say
Is nothing really matters
Anyway

Is it ever gonna get
Easier
Will I go and just forget
The things I've learned

Will I ever be free enough
To trust someone
A prisoner in a cage floating
Around the sun

[Chorus]
And all I know
Won't fill a thimble
And still I've so far left to go
And all I can do
Is try try, try, try
To make it though

You just try
Ooh, you just try
Yeah, yeah, yeah, ooh
You just try
Oh, try, try, try, try, try
You just try
Yeah
You just try
