Best That I Can

This one little thing I know is true

I'll do my best to take care of you

'Cause this crazy world, it swallows us now

Baby smokin' cigarettes

Buying tattoo guns on the internet

The president says science got it wrong

And people postin' their car and mood

Disease multiplyin' 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 care 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

I'll never know the demons that chase a child soldier

We'll never know the pain within Emmanuel Jal

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 care 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, I'll do the best that I can

Oh, oh, oh, I'll do the best that I can

Holy, holy, mother Teresa

Workin' her fingers to the bone in the slums of Calcutta

In summer sippin' fine wine, plannin' out their wars

How to bomb entire nations and 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 2117

And I'll take care 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, I'll do the best that I can

Oh, oh, oh, I'll do the best that I can

I'll do the best that I can

I'll do the best that I can

Ooh, ooh, ooh, I'll do the best that I can

Ooh, ooh, ooh, I'll do the best that I can
