From the recording The Secret of Life
Lyrics
You're raising questions from waters so deep
Expecting me to know just what to say
But only you know what it is you seek
Sometimes words of wisdom just get in the way
Chorus
So paint your picture any way you want
Covering the canvas with your dreams
Listen closely to your heart
It cannot lie, says only what it means
In the end it all comes down to this
The secret of life is doing the best that you can
'Cause there's no such thing as a perfect man
The specter of sorrow can steal your sight away
And leave you longing for the light
But time can't be borrowed, the dragon you must slay
To banish forever the night
Chorus
You've got to take it to heart, make it a part of your plan
The secret of life is doing the best that you can
Face always forward, leave the past behind
Stop to love along the way
But if I've said too much, then pay me no mind
Just remember these few words that I say
The secret of life is doing the best that you can
You've got to take it to heart, make it a part of your plan
The secret of life is doing the best that you can
'Cause there's no such thing as a perfect man
'Cause there's no such thing as a perfect man
