Wakin’ up to the loud sound of breathin’
In a shelter full of strangers sleepin’
Twisted up with her mama and sister
Wonderin’ if anybody would miss her
Too young to understand just what they’re doin’ here
She covers up her head to make it disappear

Some days you gotta scream
I can’t take this anymore
Some days you gotta reach
Deeper than you have before
Don’t hold back, don’t concede, when the Devil laughs say I believe
My best is yet to be

Flag wavin’ in a Kansas sky breezy
Can make freedom look pretty damn easy 
Somewhere soldiers ‘round a mess hall table
Are toastin' friends now flyin' with angels 
Too young to understand just what they’re doin’ here
They raise another glass to make it disappear

Some days you gotta scream
I can’t take this anymore
Some days you gotta reach
Deeper than you have before
Don’t hold back, don’t concede, when the Devil laughs say I believe
My best is yet to be

Instrument Break

Some days you gotta scream
I can’t take this anymore
Some days you gotta reach
Deeper than you have before
Don’t hold back, don’t concede, when the Devil laughs say I believe
My best is yet to be
My best is yet to be
My best is yet to be

My Best Is Yet To Be

You oughtta’ do what I’m tellin’ you - trust the Lord in what He can do
Listen while I tell you friend how to get through thick and thin

If you’re gonna cross the widest rivers – a man can ever cross
The water’s swift all the time – leaves a man in awe
But wading in just gets you wet – you gotta’ go deeper in
To cross the widest rivers – and get through thick and thin

Through thick and thin - If you gonna’ get what you want
Through thick and thin - you can learn to pray or don’t
You oughtta’ do what I’m telling you - Trust the Lord and what he can do
Let me tell you once again - how to get through thick and thin

If you’re gonna’ get to the top of the highest mountain – a man can ever climb
May be steep and out of reach – you don’t know till you try
Once you get up to the top – you can look down to where you’ve been
When you climb the highest mountain – and get through thick and thin

Through thick and thin - If you gonna’ get what you want
Through thick and thin - you can learn to pray or don’t
You oughtta’ do what I’m telling you - Trust the Lord and what he can do
Let me tell you once again - how to get through thick and thin

Thick and thin – through thick and thin
Your journey will be easier – if you listen to me friend

Through thick and thin - If you gonna’ get what you want
Through thick and thin - you can learn to pray or don’t
You oughtta’ do what I’m telling you - Trust the Lord and what he can do
Let me tell you once again - how to get through thick and thin

Through thick and thin - If you gonna’ get what you want
Through thick and thin - you can learn to pray or don’t
You oughtta’ do what I’m telling you - Trust the Lord and what he can do
Let me tell you once again - how to get through thick and thin

You oughtta’ do what I’m telling you - trust the Lord and what he can do
Come on along with me my friend – we’ll get through thick and thin

My Best Is Yet To Be
