Verse 1: Well I went up on the mountain and I looked down on my life I have squandered all my money and lost my faithful wife My heart was full 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 Try, try, again If at first you don't succeed Just try and try again If all you do is lose You better find a way to win If at first you don't succeed Try and try again Verse 2: I know someday the world will learn to sing a better song The blind will see, the deaf will hear we'll all just sing along The fighting will be ended and all hunger will all be gone It's everybody's business 'til we get the good work done Repeat Chorus (several times if necessary)
