The song I'm Trying is performed by Face to Face in the album named Don't Turn Away in the year 1994 .
Four year old at play, shot and killed today
Never even had a chance
Seventeen and high, threw away his life
Has a gun to feel like he's a man
Can't have it any other way
Laying in the street, asking for a drink
Doesn't have a place to live
Pregnant at thirteen, still can hear the screams
Something that she never will forget
Can't have it any other way
I'm trying to open my mind
So you can keep your faith
As I'll just walk away
There's no reason for me to stay
Can't have it any other way
Can't have it any other way
I'm trying to open my mind
I'm trying to open my mind, my mind
And I'm trying to make up my mind
