No significant event led to this song's creation;
rather, it was forged over a long period of reflection.

HEAR HERE

THE BEST THAT WE CAN DO
Spring 2008, Denver CO

Your days are filled with sunlight, and still the rain is gonna fall
Your future's lookin' so bright until the blues come to call
    Ain't nothin' in this world got no guarantee
    Ain't no such thing as security
    The best that we can do is try to live in peace
        And harmony

Your heart is filled with laughter, and still those tears have got to fall
Will you be here the mornin' after when your faith hits that wall
    Ain't nothin' in this world bring you clarity
    Did ya find the cost of freedom - it sure ain't free
    The best that we can do is try to grow old
        Gracefully

        And just remember tomorrow ain't promised to you
        In your trouble and sorrow - dreams still come true
           Sometimes they do

    Ain't nothin' in this world got no guarantee
    Ain't no such thing as security
    The best that we can do is try to leave this earth
        With dignity
    Yeah, the best that we can do is walk before our Lord
        In humility
