Still Trying

January arriving, clouds to be breaking, we're barely surviving It's a new day, a new year, and I'm still trying When I wake I can see, frosty roads and skeletal trees Though we've been here before, back and forth Two steps forward into the new, why are we all shaking? And I wonder when we look back, we'll say "What was all that?" I'm still trying to make sense of it all I'm still trying, despite it all Stuck in a rut sometimes, like getting blood out of stone Somedays will be easier they say And I'm stood at the foot of the hill Looking up, not sure, no stomach for thrills And I wonder if it's all that I'm still trying to make sense of it all I'm still trying, despite it all I'm still trying to make sense of it all
