Lyrics

Doing My Best
I'm doing my best to rationalize
What's happening in this modern world we're sharing?
Not enough of us compassionate for others
Shouldn't matter their beliefs, where they're from, whatever faith
Long as they're caring
Long as they're sharing

I'm trying my utmost to come to grips
With others live amongst us who don't care
They're the ones without compassion, harbouring hatred
No respect for our beliefs, where we're from, however we unwind
No thoughts of sharing
No hint of caring

Yeah I'm doing my best
I'm doing my best
The very best this man can do, expressing caring
My song's about correction that our world now has to face
Tolerating differences and sharing
I'm doing my best yeah
I'm doing my best

I do my best, I compromise
Whenever different points of view confront me
I do feel fair compassion for all others
While silencing myself from those who by their actions look
Like they might hunt me
And other carers
My fellow sharers

Bridge:
In doing my best, the simplest thing that I can do
Is share a song that carries strong
My point of view
Doing my best, the best this man can simply, humbly do
Whoever hears my song, mission-fixing things gone wrong
I'm hoping something just as simple
From within your soul
Might come from you!
I'm doing my humble best in my own small way
And so can you!

I'm doing my best
I'm doing my best
The very best this man can do, expressing caring
My song's about correction that our world now has to face
Tolerating differences and sharing
I'm doing my best yeah
I'm doing my best


Let's do our best, all compromise
Whenever different points of view confront us
Feel true and fair compassion for all others
While distancing ourselves from those who by fear-tactics
Look set to hunt us
Intent on hunting us
For being life's carers
Being life's sharers yeah

I'm doing my best in a very small way
Just doing my best
Doing my best
Very best
Doing my best
