Xavier Rudd - Best That I Can lyrics
[Xavier Rudd - Best That I Can lyrics]
If there's one little thing that
I know is true
I'll do my best to take care of you
It's this crazy world that swallows us now
Baby smoking cigarettes
Buying tattoo guns on the internet
The President says science got it wrong
When people posting the current mood
Disease multiplying from the shitty food
And pharmaceutical companies got it made
At the end of the day when I take your hand
Remind myself I'm the luckiest man
Breathe with you and gently drift away
And I'll take of you darling
Just like the sun takes care of rain
If trouble strikes without warning
I'll do the best that I can
And every now and then
As my hunger slips away
I'm humbled that I get to choose
Everything that's on my plate
Empathy for the Sudanese
So far from their home
Had to drink their urine to reach Ethiopia
Never know the demons that
Chase a child soldier
We'll never know the pain with him
Emanuel Jo sent to tell his story
Through wise, tormented eyes
He was sent to share his magic
In these crazy troubled times
And I'll take of you darling
Just like the sun takes care of rain
If trouble strikes without warning
I'll do the best that I can oh oh, oh oh
I'll do the best that I can oh oh, oh oh
I'll do the best that I can
Holy, holy, Mother Theresa
Working her fingers to the bone
In the slums of Kolkata
Some are sipping fine wine
Planning out their wars
How to bomb entire nations
Get control of the oil
Memories and photographs platforms in my mind
Mandatory loneliness before you were
By my side remember dad once telling me of
The very first TV
Stephen Hawking said we'll all
Be gone by 21-17
And I'll take of you darling
Just like the sun takes care of rain
If trouble strikes without warning
I'll do the best that I can oh oh, oh oh
I'll do the best that I can oh oh, oh oh
I'll do the best that I can
I know is true
I'll do my best to take care of you
It's this crazy world that swallows us now
Baby smoking cigarettes
Buying tattoo guns on the internet
The President says science got it wrong
When people posting the current mood
Disease multiplying from the shitty food
And pharmaceutical companies got it made
At the end of the day when I take your hand
Remind myself I'm the luckiest man
Breathe with you and gently drift away
And I'll take of you darling
Just like the sun takes care of rain
If trouble strikes without warning
I'll do the best that I can
And every now and then
As my hunger slips away
I'm humbled that I get to choose
Everything that's on my plate
Empathy for the Sudanese
So far from their home
Had to drink their urine to reach Ethiopia
Never know the demons that
Chase a child soldier
We'll never know the pain with him
Emanuel Jo sent to tell his story
Through wise, tormented eyes
He was sent to share his magic
In these crazy troubled times
And I'll take of you darling
Just like the sun takes care of rain
If trouble strikes without warning
I'll do the best that I can oh oh, oh oh
I'll do the best that I can oh oh, oh oh
I'll do the best that I can
