Engine To Turn
Tift Merritt

I don't know how to fix the world
I don't know how to fix myself
Seems like they both need some love
Seems like they both need some help
Maybe you could fix it 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 sing 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 its voice
Singing at the top of its 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
