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
