I know you're afraid, I'll lose Jesus   And I'll choose all the wrong kind of friends   But I've gotta find my own reasons for living   But I can believe it in the end      If I crawl on my knees through the heartache   Of the mess that I've made all alone   Don't come around here to rescue me too soon   I need to get through on my own      Let me fall just one time   'Cause I'm tryin' to learn how to fly   Let me make my own mistakes   'Cause it's hope that I'm hopin' to find   Let me try, let me try, let me try      If I lay in the arms of a stranger   And I dance too close to the ledge   Don't be afraid it's because I don't love you   I just need to see life at the edge      Let me fall just one time   'Cause I'm tryin' to learn how to fly   Let me cry once or twice   'Cause freedom, it comes at a price   Let me try, let me try, let me try      You gave me beautiful wings that are strong   Just believe now that I can fly   All of the love that you gave me   I'll carry it with me and keep it alive, keep it alive      Oh, let me fall just one time   'Cause I'm tryin' to learn how to fly   Let me make my own mistakes   'Cause it's hope that I'm hopin', I'm hopin' to find   Let me try, oh, let me try      Oh, oh, let me try   Oh, let me try   Ohh, ohh   Oh, let me try, ohh      Let me try, try   Let me try, try   Let me try, try   Let me try, try   Let me try
