The Best You Can Do

© 1992 Neal Gladstone
 
When you go up you're up
When you come down you're down
Sometimes it takes a life of mistakes
To turn you around
Answers are hard to find
But one thing that I can surely say
From the long view
The best you can do
Is give your love away
Verse 2
Some of us shoot for the stars
Few of us hit the mark
Playing the game of fortune and fame
Can break your heart
Nobody knows which way the wind's gonna blow
But one thing I can surely say
From the long view the best you can do
Is give your love away
Bridge 1
Against a rising tide of greed and confusion
We seem to be losing ground
But losing or winning
The world keeps spinning around
 
Verse 3
Some of us find our passion
Some of us never do
Most of us stand with our hat in our hand
Waiting for our dreams to come true
Life is a dangerous game
It's easy to be afraid
From the long view the best you can do
Is give your love away
Bridge 2
In a crazy world with too many choices
The voices can bring you down
But losing or winning
The world keeps spinning around
 
Repeat
 
Just when your hope
Is at the end of your rope
The sun can break through
