Lyrics
The Best You Can
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Looking at what I see
What does living mean to me
All that I can ever be is just a man
And the most you can ever do is the best you can
Riding on the world go round
Being me and a what I am
What I am, I'm just a man
And the most you can ever do is the best you can
Bridge:
And what I've found is mostly worth it all
The wisdom of the future is the past
In city brouges and wise old southern drawls
The words that say the most say things that last
Riding on the world go round
Being me and a what I am
And what I am, I'm just a man
And the most you can ever do is the best you can
And the most you can ever do is the best you can
And the most you can ever do is the best you can
