Lyrics Best That I Can - Xavier Rudd

This one little thing i know is true
I'll do my best to take care of you
this crazy world that swallows us down
Babies smoking cigarrettes
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
every thing that's on my plate
Empathy for the Sudanese, so far from their home
Had to drink their urine to reach Ethiopia
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
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 entre 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
on the very first tv
Stephen Hawkings 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
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
oh, oh, oh
I'll do the best that I can
oh, oh, oh
I'll do the best that I can
