Best That I Can

(альбом: Storm Boy - 2018)

If there's one little thing I know is true
I'll do my best to take care of you
This is crazy world, it swallows us now
Babies smoking cigarettes
Buying tattoo guns on the internet
The President says science got it wrong
And people posting their 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 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

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
We'll never know 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, Oh-oh
I'll do the best that I can
Oh-oh, 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 Calcutta
Some were 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 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, Oh-oh
I'll do the best that I can
Oh-oh, Oh-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-ooh, Ooh-ooh
I'll do the best that I can
Ooh-ooh, Ooh-ooh, Ooh-ooh
I'll do the best that I can
