The Best I Can

The Normals


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 
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 
Cason's 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 
Tired of all this killing time 
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 that I still 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 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
