The Best You Can (A Christmas Song)

On a quiet night, two weary folks
Rode into Bethlehem, but couldn't find a host
So they made their stay among the cows and sheep
The babe was on his way, and neither on of them could sleep

The prophets told
Of a simple child given gold
Who'd come to save their souls

He was born to die
To give his love, to give his life
He brought hope for every woman and man
He left with a promise to come back again
And until then, love each other the best you can

Mary kept her grace through the joy and pain
She knew in that one moment the world had been changed
While Joseph wept, he wiped his woman's brow
The son of God was his to raise, but no one had told him how

But he loved that child
Like it was his own
To teach him man cannot survive on bread alone

He was born to die
To give his love, to give his life
He brought hope for every woman and man
He left with a promise to come back again
And until then, love each other the best you can

One day I'll have children too
And when that day comes, who knows how I'll do
But I'll try my best to show
In this short time, there's just one thing you need to know

We were born to die
Then live again in the glory of his light
Learn to forgive your fellow man
And even if you don't know the Lord,
It ain't hard to live like Him
Above all, love each other the best you can
