Lyrics

In all our lives, there's up's and down's and changes Our best made plans, life can rearrange them We must try to roll with the punches Oh, the bottom lines, do all you can you do 'Cause the rest truly ain't nothing new, so just Do your best (come on) Take your time, (well, well) Do it right (oh, if you know how do it and you) You won't fail (no) And there are times you can win but lose it When all the odds seem (seem like they're against you) But surely, surely as long as you're breathing Hey, then you got a chance to make your stand 'Cause it's never in your hands, so just Do your best Take your time, do it right Oh, if you know how to do it and (you won't fail) no, no You won't fail, no You won't fail Ah-ah-ah, ah-ooh Ooh Ah-ah-ah, ah-ooh Ooh We must learn, to take the bitter with the sweet Just test the test, a test to see how we will be Still we find still sometimes in our defeat So when you really lose, it only shows that we're not in control, so just Do your best Take your time, do it right Oh, if you know how to do it and (you won't fail) no, no Ooh, you just, you just Do your best Take your time, do it right Oh, if you know how to do it and (you won't fail) no, no No, you won't, no you won't Hey Some of us know about the bitter And some might know about the sweet We gotta make our stand and you can't be weak Lookie here, we gotta take our time, so don't you get weak Do your best child, 'cause it's all a part of the test And you go around saying Whoa, whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa Whoa, whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa Listen children, do all you can, do all you can do And you will always get what's comin' to you So just take your time and spread a little love And I know you'll be blessed by the man above Say whoa Whoa, whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa Whoa, whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa
