They tried

They tried to tell me
that life was a fun place
but i could never see it
i was lost in my race

they tried to tell me
that God would always be there
yet they are always askin
why they feel so bare

they tried to tell me
that he loved me with all his heart
but they didn't hear the lies
that he told me from the start

they tried to tell me
that i am filled with love
but i just want to fly away
like the peaceful white dove
