Lyrics

if it was so simple to believe the words you said
that hate would be forgotten and love would reign instead
oh i would preach your gospel and not say that i'd been led

i have tried but i have lost my way
can't see my way ahead

if it was so simple to just walk up to a man
and say to him quite truthfully "salvation is at hand
won't you let me be your brother, can i take hold of your hand"

I have tried but i have lost my way
please help me make a stand

if it was so simple just to take the life you gave
and strife to seek perfection along the path you paved
and not question all the hardships that you've placed along the way

i have tried but i have lost my way
please tell me we'll be saved
