The Best I Can

I sometimes hide behind my words

Sometimes I'm round the corner from these songs

But words are only words like days are only days

And I'm nothing for just singing along, singing along

The air is hot in Florida, the rain is cold in Maine

The thaw is flooding Washington and this all feels the same

But You've brought me to this place

Where there's nothing else but faith

And this is what I have been given

And I will make the best I can

There's a joy we find in living

And a love that's in Your hand

Casons always talking about the sky that covers Kansas

And I wish I could be under it today

I'm tired of all the spinning lies, I'm tired of all this killing time

I'm tired of always getting in the way

I wish I could conjure up a love song

Wish I could pray the way my friends do back home

Is there a part of You still that I just don't believe

'Cause this is not what I thought I had been praying for

But this is what I have been given

And I will make the best I can

There's a joy we find in living

And a love that's in Your hand

Someday, some girl will find my words beautiful

Someday some son will call me dad

Someday I won't wake to find myself lying

In another cold and lonely hotel bed

Someday I'll trade in this guitar

For a city of golden praise

Someday I won't be here any longer

Someday, yeah

But this is what I have been given

And I will make the best I can

There's a joy we find in living

And a love that's in Your hand
