Best For You

Should I extend a loving hand
Or should I let you learn for yourself
With no help from me or anyone else
Should I be your only friend
Lend you both my ears and all of my head or just wait
For you while you crawl through emotional haze
I want the best for you
I want to help you through
I want to help you see
The way your choices shape the ones you claim to love
Who so desperately try to love you
And I want to help you be
The person that you were meant to be
But you just have to walk right through uncertainty
I want the best for you
I want to help you through
I want the
I want the best for you

Time flies and carries me far away
So many friends keep on running in place
Can’t give up comfort for better days
Things keep on moving around
My sense of home has gone
And some cats just won’t get along
They’re too small to see beyond their flaws
I’ve been moving and growing and changing
Wish I could slow down and just be
So many new people support me
But there’s nothing like feeling at home
My home
My home
Still looking for something to call my
My home
My home
I'm still looking for something to call my own
I don’t need everything to feel just right or squeaky clean
But one thing I lose too frequently
Is familiarity
My home
My home
Still looking for something to call my
My home
My home
I'm still looking for something to call my own

It’s hard to be grateful if your chin has never touched the ground
Just keep that head up high without floating up in the clouds
I’ve been finding joy and spending time on things I used to love
I find that being good’s not as good as just not giving up
I've been giving myself the chance just to hop back on my feet
'Cuz I bite myself right in the butt when I try to do so perfectly
Every day I have the chance
To let the beauty of the world wash over me
And I have been through mud that went right up to my knees
So when I’m walking into trouble, I can do so confidently
Finally I see
Finally I see
Finally I see the blessings and beauty around me
Finally I see
Finally I see
Finally I see the blessings and beauty around me
Hard to be grateful when your eyes are on the negative
And it’s hard to be faithful when you’re tested and tested and tested
But baby I see the beauty of the world around me
Take a look around, you’ll see more beauty
(In front of us, in front of us)
Open up your eyes, you’ll see it truly
(All around us, all around)
You’re doing better than you think
Pick your head up once again
Find a way
Just find a way
To see that beauty
Finally I see
Finally I see
Finally I see the blessings and beauty around me
Finally I see
Finally I see
Finally I see the blessings and beauty around me
