Lyrics

A LITTLE BETTER


If a person does their very best
though they make their home in the wilderness
the world will make a beaten path to their front door
Every time you meet a stranger
if you pretend that they?re an angel
you leave the world a little better than it was before

Oh you may think me quite an old idealist
I prefer to consider myself a better kind of realist

If two people love each other enough
you?d think a little bad weather?d only toughen ?em up
but the strongest couples are dropping just like flies
Dear Lord Jesus in Heaven above
Could ya give us enough gas to drive through the rough stuff?
I?ve got a full house now I think you?re calling my bluff in spite

Oh you may think me bound and tied by old religion
You should try a little peace sometime here?s just a smidgen

If you?ve got two coats and you?re brother has none
you could stand and watch him freeze or you could give him one
Do unto others as you wanna be done to you
looking far away it seems a really thin line
but if you take it every day it seems to fit just fine
and peace of mind is something I can?t refuse

Oh you may think I talk too much or that I?m preaching
How can you have the answer and the antidote and still be reaching

If a person does their very best
though they make their home in the wilderness
the world will make a beaten path to their front door
Every time you meet a stranger
if you pretend that they?re an angel
you leave the world a little better than it was before
You leave the world a little better than it was before
You leave the world a little better
