Can't run fast enough
Can't hide I can't fly
I'm struggling with the limits of this ordinary life
I'm just a
Just a
Just a first try
Can't hear what you say
Can't see by the light
I'm struggling with the limits of this ordinary life
I'm just a
Just a
Just a first try
Can't say what I mean
Can't love from the heart
Can't trust in the mercy and the goodness in the world
Can't learn to accept that it's alright
To struggle with the limits of this ordinary life
Can't be
Just a
Just a first try
Can't be
Just a
Just a first try
Just a
Just a
Just a first try
Can't hide I can't fly
I'm struggling with the limits of this ordinary life
I'm just a
Just a
Just a first try
Can't hear what you say
Can't see by the light
I'm struggling with the limits of this ordinary life
I'm just a
Just a
Just a first try
Can't say what I mean
Can't love from the heart
Can't trust in the mercy and the goodness in the world
Can't learn to accept that it's alright
To struggle with the limits of this ordinary life
Can't be
Just a
Just a first try
Can't be
Just a
Just a first try
Just a
Just a
Just a first try

Tracy Chapman is not talking about, not being able to fly, or run fast,but about the fact that we are in a repressed society,where you want some things to change, but they just remain the same.And only a merciless societylike ours allows wrong things to go on. So repeated efforts for change on her part or anyone who wants changes, is ignored and so everytime looks like trying the first time - a "first try".
