Tried to juggle dropped it all

Skated straight into a wall

Painted clouds that looked like fish

Still, I smiled and made a wish

I never tried, but hey why not?

Could be fun or maybe not

Fallin' down or flyin' high

At least I gave it a shot

Burned the toast and cracked the pan

Sang off key but led the band

Asked her out, forgot my name

Still laughed loud, just played the game

I never tried, but hey why not?

Could be weird or maybe hot

Missed the mark, but felt alive

At least I gave it a shot

Every oops, every trip

Every fall’s a little gift

We don't grow from standing still

So I climb the clumsy hill

I never tried, but hey why not? (Why not?)

Could be gold or maybe not

Crash and burn or touch the sky

At least I gave it a shot

I never tried, but now I know

That life's a mess and that's the show

Sing it loud, don't let it stop

'Cause trying's still the top
