Dm C G
Could you let down your hair
A Bb
And be transparent for a while
A
Just a little while
Bb A
See if your human after all
Dm C G A Bb
Honesty is a hard attribute to find
A Bb A
When we all want to seem like we've got it all figured out
Dm C G Bb
I may be the first to say that I don't have a clue
A
I don't have all the answers
Bb A
And God I pretend like I do just
C G Bb A
Trying to find my way
C G Bb A
Trying to find my way the best that I know how
Dm C G A Bb
Well I haven't memorized all the cute things to say
A
But I'm working on it
Bb A
Maybe I'll master this art form someday
Dm C G A Bb
if I quote all the line off the top of my head
A
And you'd believe
Bb A
that I fully understand all of these things Ive read
C G Bb A
Im just trying to find my way
C G Bb A
Trying to find my way
C G Bb A
Trying to find my way the best that I know how
Em Am F C G
Well I havent drawn it or figured out quite yet
Em Am
But even if it takes my whole life
F C G
To get to where I need to be
Em Am F C G
And if I should fall to the bottom of the end
F G
I'll be one step back to you
F C Bb A
I'm trying to find my way
F C Bb A
Trying to find my way
C G Bb A
Oh, I'm trying to find my way
C G Bb A
Trying to find my way

| he wants to find his way, he wants to be better person, he wants to believe and always have faith & good morals.. he is talking to someone dear telling them that "honesty is a hard attribute to find" and looking for its meaning .. No one knows the whole truth so does he. Therefore, he wont pretend like he knows everything, he is still working on himself on becoming a better person, focusing on his believes and innerself.. and so all he is going to do is try his best find the truth and dig deeper for the meaning of honesty even if it takes him all his life. | |

| This song hits me because it's what I always have trouble with: being transparent, being sincere and honest. I get it in my head that 'human' doesn't seem good enough, or sometimes that I can't even live up to that. Sometimes I compare myself to others and I think I'm either better than them and I get 'a swelled head' or that I'm worse than them and I feel miserable. But, when it all comes down to it, we're all just trying. | |

| This song seems to be about trying with a significant other to be all they want and need. I think that there is also a deeper meaning of just trying to be the best person you can in all aspects of life. If you fall, get up and keep trying. | |

| I also heard this song on the Third Watch. And i cant get out of my head. By far one my most favorite songs, his voice and the words. Just kinda calms you down and makes you think of your life... | |

| He wrote "Trying" when he was 15. It's about the same kind of spiritual searching as "Only One." After his parents got divorced, he wrote the lyrics to it, then learned how to play guitar and came up with the melody. The song's about finding your way in life. He was trying to figure out what he wanted to do, what he wanted to become, not just in music but also who he was as a person. he considered "Trying" his first song, the first one he didn't scrap. The funny thing is, he can relate to it more now than he could back then. Sometimes he thinks, "Man - where did that come from?" he still feels the same emotion when he plays it, so I guess it's pretty timeless; people can relate to it, no matter how old they are. amazing song | |

| Oh, this song described school, my relationship with God, my relationship with ppl, my struggle to be moral, everything. If I could tell you only one thing about myself, "I'm trying" is what I'd say. | |
