Long I've been running away for far too long

Afraid of what, afraid of what I know is soon to come

I may not be much of an example right now

But I can give you all of my knowledge on how

To get along in this place. Right now all I can say

Chorus

Is (that) I will do the best that I can

To be a good example of man

And I know one day that you'll understand

You deserve the best that I am

You deserve the best that I am

It's so hard, so hard to think about when I was a child

So angry at life, I blamed the world for such a long, long time

But things happened so quickly some people just go

I needed answers to heal me, I wanted to know, how to get by

And now it's my turn to say

Chorus (2X)

This is all for you

Everything in this world, everything in my world

Everything in your world

Things won't always go right in this life

There's always changes, we'll make it

That's why I gotta do the best that I can

To be a good example of man

I know one day that you'll understand

You deserve the best that I am

You deserve the best that I am
