The Best Me
Trying to live every day like it's the last.
We don't know if we'll even wake up.
Why live in the past?
Every minute, every season, just find a reason.
Love your children, family and those close to you.
Do what you think you're supposed to do.
Be who it is you intend to be.
Time goes so fast.
No going back, can't chase the clock.

We become who we resent the most.
We repeat the same mistakes.
Break the cycle, break the chains and I'll give you the best me.
I am what you never could be.
I haven't been beaten.
The world cannot beat me.
I fall, pick myself up and continue.
Even in death we live.
Even in the worst of times we thrive.
Even in the worst of times I'm still alive.

Whether it's the government who lies.
Relationships that die.
Marriage that you couldn't keep alive.
Friends we lose over time.
Words that cut us deep.
Everything that makes us lose sleep.
I wake up and try again.
Every day a better me.
The more the world tests me, the more it gets the best me.
