Everybody's Got Their Own Part to Play - Shannon Wright

You ought to know by now

Nobody’s coming to make a sound

You take the fork to your mouth

Have no shame

Try to contain

What’s it like

What’s it like

When everybody says you ain’t trying

What’s it like

What’s it like

When everybody says you ain’t even trying

Oh, the faithful heart

Is when we start

With these trying things

Should have known better

To ask for something

You wouldn’t give

You take the words from your mouth

And nobody knows what the truth is

So what’s the point

What’s the point

When everybody else ain’t even trying

What’s the point, what’s the point

When everybody else ain’t even trying

Oh, the faithful heart

Is when we start

With these trying things

Oh, everybody’s got their own part in their own play

And I wish I could pour some salt on this tepid rain

But oh, the faithful heart

Is when we start

With these trying things
