Lyrics All on the Table - Robert de Boron

I tried and tried sometimes I
Could not fly the way the crowd would
Don't know why I don't mind
But I did do all that I could
Some might say, say I caved in
Say I gave up called me shameful
But I stuck to my gut
And laid it all on the table
I always tell people to do what you love
But what about me though am I truly in touch
More often than not I'm walking off in the dark
No clue on who I am but I continue to march
I said left to the right to the left again
When can I ever rest these heavy limbs
I've come too far or have I gone too far
Back and forth I battle on in this war
So when the wind's inexplicably blowing strong
I need to hold on hold my soul in my arms
And when the rain falls and it's pouring a storm
I just tilt my chin up and open my arms
And when I cross mountain tops cliffs and rocks
The hardest part about the climb is uplifting my heart
And if I try and try and I trip and I fall
It's alright y'all I'm alright y'all
I tried and tried sometimes I
Could not fly the way the crowd would
Don't know why I don't mind
But I did do all that I could
Some might say, say I caved in
Say I gave up called me shameful
But I stuck to my gut
And laid it all on the table
It goes one for the money and two for job security
Three for the catholic nuns who put the fear in me
Four for the branches of the family tree
Every refugee uprooted who abandoned a dream
Felt them hand it to me put it on my generation
Pennies tens and twenties put it all on education
Soldiers of war who knew the top would destroy us
If we didn't raise an army full of doctors and lawyers
Hey I see how the sentiment arises
Prepare for the worse so aint nothing would surprise us
Can you tell I was raised by a general
Who turned into a minister because the world is sinister
In simpler times maybe the road is less treacherous
And doing what you love is something more effortless
But nevertheless I would never regret
What's expected of me in my destiny manifest
I tried and tried sometimes I
Could not fly the way the crowd would
Don't know why I don't mind
But I did do all that I could
Some might say I caved in
Say I gave up called me shameful
But I stuck to my gut
And laid it all on the table
Tme passes and reveals who the soldiers are
For what war what purpose what noble cause
Who will meet you greet you with open arms
Who will seek truth and reach soon the road to god
It was me t d in the center
A dream team of three to remember
Chuck on the bass with a face of inspiration
Jaron on keys and we were elevatin'
The home word band my coldest fam
We made it international love to sam kang
Vibrations to Japan, Malaysia to Auckland
Seoul Hanguk hey thank you to the fans
We do, do, do what we love
And leave the rest for god to be taken care of
We done did did what we can
And pass it on to you 'cause now it's out of our hands
I tried and tried sometimes I
Could not fly the way the crowd would
Don't know why I don't mind
But I did do all that I could
Some might say, say I caved in
Say I gave up called me shameful
But I stuck to my gut
And laid it all on the table
I tried and tried sometimes I
Could not fly the way the crowd would
Don't know why I don't mind
But I did do all that I could
Some might say, say I caved in
Say I gave up called me shameful
But I stuck to my gut
And laid it all on the table
