I went up on the mountain
And I looked down on my life
I had squandered all my money
Lost my son and wife.
And my heart was filled with sorrow
And I almost took my life
But I found the strength inside me
To give life one more try.
If at first you don't succeed
Just try and try again
If at first you don't succeed
Well, try and try again.
And if all you do is lose
You'd better find a way to win
If at first you don't succeed
Just try and try again.
I know someday the world will learn
To sing a better song
The lame will walk, the mute will talk
We all will sing along.
The fighting will be ended
And the hunger will be gone
It's everybody's business
'Til we get the good work done.
If at first you don't succeed
Just try and try again
If at first you don't succeed
Well, try and try again.
And if all you do is lose
You'd better find a way to win
If at first you don't succeed
Well, try and try again.
If at first you don't succeed
Just try and try and try again
If at first you don't succeed
Try and try again.
And if all you do is lose
You'd better find a way to win
If at first you don't succeed
Well, try and try again.
I know someday, I say I know someday
That deaf man gonna hear the blind man's song
Someday the whole world gonna grow new eyes
To see, new ears to hear. We're all gonna sing along.
And our point of view is going to grow into a
Pure perfect one.
And the voice of truth inside us all
Is gonna help us sing that song.
If at first you don't succeed brother, sister
Try and try and try again.
Amen. Amen.
Keep on trying.
You can do it.
Sometime you don't know why you're trying
Keep trying anyway.
You can make it. You can do whatever you want to.
Just keep trying.
But you gotta keep trying.
Try and try again.
God bless all of you.
Thank you.
