Can't we try
[unknown] Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When a time slips into dark
What can we do
When no one is around
What can we do
When sound lose the spike
What can we do
If we can't get what we like
Keep on kicking,
Keep your shine on
Hurt and low but not alone
Keep on going,
Keep your shine on
We can shine, we can shine
We can shine, we can shine
What can we do
If they want us to lose
We can rise our hands
We can rise our hands
Just remember you are not alone
Keep on kicking, keep your shine on
Hurt and low but not alone
Keep on going,
Keep your shine on
We can shine, we can shine
We can shine, we can shine
We can shine, we can shine
We can shine, we can shine

It's been YEARS since I heard this. I was an '80s teen and loved this song.
Came on the radio just now, and I KNEW EVERY WORD. :) Thanks, Dan and Vonda.

One of the greatest love songs ever
@scotthinman2759
Still one of the best duets of all time. Why can’t we still have music like this!!!🩷

Because it would put marriage therapists out of business so songs like Small Town or Old Time Rock and Roll proliferate the airwaves.

No one these can make music like this. We come from a generation who enjoyed our music.
@cchevy936
Because we have Millennials whose parents did everything for them, so they can't do for themselves now, so they copy everything. ugh.
