Sometimes I feel like I'm prospecting for gold I'm always searching for the mother lode Each day I'm hoping for a little bit more Hard to remember what I came here for I'd give you diamonds and I'd give you pearls If we were living in a different world But you're just handing out some more of the same A little anger and a little more pain There must be something hidden so deep inside of you I can't try harder than I do To make the world seem right for you I can't try harder than I do Caught in a place where there's no night and no day I'm working hard to move the rocks in my way Lost in the darkness and so far from home Still I can't penetrate this heart of stone There must be something hidden so deep inside of you I can't try harder than I do To make the world seem right for you I can't try harder than I do To make the world seem right for you Sometimes a vision comes to me at night I see your treasure and it's shining so bright Some things are precious beyond all belief These things I've had but I could never keep There must be something hidden so deep inside of you I can't try harder than I do To make the world seem right for you I can't try harder than I do To make the world seem right for you I can't try harder than I do To make the world seem right for you I can't try harder than I do To make the world seem right for you I can't try harder than I do I can't try harder than I do I can't try harder than I do
