You Deserve The Best Lyrics

David Mallett You Deserve The Best

Life is courage under fire
Life is calling from the mud
Reaching out for something higher
Never counting on your love

Life's unfair to those who think so
But it's a wonder to the rest
And we all need a dream to cling to
And brother, you deserve the best
And brother, you deserve the best

And here's to all my sad-eyed sisters
There are worlds that are all your own
May this time heal all your blisters
May you always have a home

Some come through clean as a whistle
Some get caught up in a mess
Now when you walk through thorns and thistles
Sister, you deserve the best
Sister, you deserve the best

And here's to all my sons and daughters
And to all good things to come
May you walk the road you ought to
May you hear the distant drum

And when the songs ring in the rafters
May you stand up with the rest
'Cause when it comes to love and laughter
You know you deserve the best
You know you deserve the best
