Engine To Turn(Album Version) - Tift Merritt

I don't know how to fix the world

I don't know how to fix myself

Seems like we both need some love

Seems like we both need some help

Maybe you could fix with might

Maybe you could just stare it down

Seems like some tenderness could turn the whole thing around

I'm just trying to get the engine to turn

I'm just trying to smile through my tears

And I still got so much to learn

But the best I can is what I have to give

Gonna give it while I'm here

Most days I want to speed up

Seems like I ought to slow down

Maybe the pieces are here if I just took a good look around

Maybe the world feels like me

Wishing someone would it a song

About how there's a lot of good here

About how it's done nothing wrong

I'm just trying to get the engine to turn

I'm just trying to smile through my tears

And I still got so much to learn

But the best I can is what I have to give

Gonna give it while I'm here

Sometimes there's a choir in my head

Singing at the top of it's voice

Singing at the top of it's voice

They sing don't look back

Don't be scared Don't be scared

I'm just trying to get the engine to turn

I'm just trying to smile through my tears

And I still got so much to learn

But the best I can is what I have to give

Gonna give it while I'm here
