try me
Hope Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know you're afraid I'll lose Jesus
And I'll choose all the wrong kind of friends
But I've gotta find my own reasons for living
But I can't believe it in the end

If I crawl on my knees through the heartache
Of the mess that I've made all alone
Don't come around here to rescue me too soon
I need to get through on my own

Let me fall just one time
'Cause I'm trying to learn how to fly
Let me make my own mistakes
'Cause it's hope that I'm hoping to find
Let me try
Let me try
Let me try

If I lay in the arms of a stranger
And I dance too close to the ledge
Don't be afraid it's because I don't love you
I just need to see life at the edge

Let me fall just one time
'Cause I'm trying to learn how to fly
Let me cry once or twice
'Cause freedom it comes at a price
Let me try
Let me try
Let me try (try)

You gave me beautiful wings
That are strong just believe now that I can fly
All of the love that you gave me
I'll carry it with me
And keep it alive
Keep it live

Ooh let me fall
Just one time
'Cause I'm trying to learn how to fly
Let me make my own mistakes
'Cause it's hope that I'm hoping, I'm hoping to find
Let me try
Oh, try (try)
Oh, try (let me try)
Oh, try (let me try)
(try)
Ooh (let me try)
Ooh (try)
Ooh (let me try)
Ooh (try)
(let me try)
(try)
(let me try)
(try)
(let me try)
(try)
(let me try)

Overall Meaning

In "Let Me Try" by Hope Partlow, the singer is addressing someone she cares about who is concerned about her choices. She acknowledges that the person is afraid that she will lose her faith or choose the wrong friends, but she insists that she needs to find her own reasons for living. She asks not to be rescued too soon if and when she struggles, as she needs to learn from her mistakes and find hope in the process. She talks about falling or making a mistake as a necessary step to learning how to fly, even though it may come with a price of temporary sorrow. Ultimately, though, she acknowledges that the love and support of the person she's addressing is valuable to her and that they've given her the foundation she needs to succeed and grow.


The song emphasizes the importance of independence, allowing oneself to make mistakes, and learning from them, even though the process can be painful. It addresses themes of self-discovery, personal growth, and the challenges of finding one's place in the world.


Line by Line Meaning

I know you're afraid I'll lose Jesus
I understand your fear that I'll fall away from faith


And I'll choose all the wrong kind of friends
And I'll surround myself with bad influences


But I've gotta find my own reasons for living
But I need to find my own purpose for existing


But I can't believe it in the end
But I can't rely on your beliefs alone to guide me


If I crawl on my knees through the heartache
If I go through intense pain and suffering


Of the mess that I've made all alone
That I've caused without any external influence


Don't come around here to rescue me too soon
Don't help me before I'm ready to help myself


I need to get through on my own
I need to learn and grow independently


Let me fall just one time
Let me make a single mistake


'Cause I'm trying to learn how to fly
Because I'm attempting to gain independence and self-reliance


Let me make my own mistakes
Let me learn from my own errors


'Cause it's hope that I'm hoping to find
Because I'm searching for hope and purpose on my own


If I lay in the arms of a stranger
If I connect with someone unfamiliar


And I dance too close to the ledge
And take risks that might be dangerous


Don't be afraid it's because I don't love you
Don't worry, it's not because I don't care for you


I just need to see life at the edge
I need to experience life to the fullest, even if it's riskier


You gave me beautiful wings
You gave me the tools to succeed and thrive


That are strong just believe now that I can fly
That are sturdy, but you need to trust that I'll be okay


All of the love that you gave me
All the affection and care you've shown me


I'll carry it with me
Will remain with me always


And keep it alive
Will never perish


Let me cry once or twice
Let me experience sadness and release my emotions


'Cause freedom it comes at a price
Because liberty is not easily earned, and requires personal sacrifice


Oh, try (let me try)
Oh, please let me attempt this on my own


(try)
(attempt)
