Do the Best You Can
Navigating Life's Turbulence: A Son's Journey Through Struggles
Lyrics
Mama there's things I haven't told you
Mama, there are things I haven't shared with you
And it is not as if I'm scared to bore you
I'm not afraid to bore you with my experiences
But if I chose to tell you it would make you sad so sad
If I choose to share, it would sadden you deeply
And mother I don't want to fill you up with my worries
I don't want to burden you with my worries, Mother
What if I told you that I have struggled in my life lately
What if I admit my recent life struggles?
That modern life has almost managed to break me down
Modern life has almost overwhelmed and defeated me
The love I travelled far for was super flaky
The love I pursued was unreliable and inconsistent
A sunnier lifestyle turned out to be shady and shaky
A seemingly brighter lifestyle turned out to be deceitful and unstable
Would you tell me son don't let anybody walk over you
Would you advise me not to let others take advantage?
Or would you tell me to come home
Or would you suggest I return home?
Would you tell me I told you so
Would you say, "I told you so"?
Don't put your trust in girls from that modern world
Caution against trusting girls from the modern world
Or would you tell me
Or would you simply say
Do the best you can son
Do the best you can, my son
Or would you tell me
Or reiterate
Do the best you can son
Do the best you can, my son
Do the best you can
Encouragement to give one's utmost effort
Ooo ooo my boy
Expressing affection, "Ooo ooo, my boy"
Ooo ooo ooo ooo
Continuation of affectionate expression
Ooo ooo my boy
Reiteration of affection, "Ooo ooo, my boy"
Ooo ooo ooo ooo
Continuation of affectionate expression
Ooo ooo my boy
Reiteration of affection, "Ooo ooo, my boy"
Or would you tell me
Or would you simply advise
Do the best you can son
Do the best you can, my son
Or would you tell me
Or repeat the advice
Do the best you can son
Do the best you can, my son
Do the best you can
Emphasizing the importance of doing one's best
Do the best you can
Final encouragement to give maximum effort
