Lyrics Donnie Iris – The Best Possible World
Text:
Oh, it’s not a perfect world
Anyone can plainly see
Pick up a newspaper
Turn on the T.V.
Got riots in the street
Got mothers living in cardboard boxes
Their kids with nothing to eat
This must be the best possible world
Cause it bore you
Evolved from the dust
And formed of nature’s Holy Rules
This must be the best possible world
Cause there you are
Shining like a diamond
Burning like a star
Oh, the lion kills the lamb
And the hunter kills the lion
Death takes the hunter
And returns him to the ground
Sometimes I just don’t know
What it all means
And then I see your pretty face
See our two young children
Carrying on the race
This must be the best possible world
Just the way it is
With its war and poverty
Agony and bliss
It must be the best possible world
Shining like diamonds
Burning like stars
Some say heaven’s a place so far away
Can’t get there until you die
But I think heaven’s going on right here
And that we’re all divine
Sometimes when we’re at bed at night
I’ll hold you tight
And listen to your steady breathing
As I wait for first light
This must be the best possible world
Cause here we all are
You and the kids sleeping like angels
But there’s demons in the yard
But me I’ll hold watch every night
A footsoldier in the moonlight
So far fortune’s smiled on us
And everything’s all right
