To He Who Tries Too Hard

by Johnny Marlin   May 30, 2005


To he who tries too hard
Take a look around
To he who tries too hard
Stop staring at the ground

To he who tries too hard
You have everything to lose
To he who tries too hard
Life is only what you choose

To he who tries too hard
Stop wishing for your death
To he who tries too hard
Just take a deep breath

To he who tries too hard
Life could be much worse
To he who tries too hard
Your life is not a curse

To he who tries too hard
You do have a say
To he who tries too hard
Live life for today
