Sarah Shotwell - Do the Best We Can lyrics

[Verse 1] Came out of mourning, washed the violet from her mane Was it an omen, the horses circled on the plain? We waited for the sky to drop Oh, as we called upon the name We didn't want the storm to stop We wanted everything to change [Chorus] Oh, how we hope you know That we do the best we can, do the best we can We never knew that you would notice If we had known it, we could have planned for the rain Do the best we can, do the best we can [Verse 2] Our wells had faltered, the fruit it died upon the vine Misplaced the farmer, poured forth the bitter wine The age is moving in and out Washing the eighties from the earth Beyond the shadow of the drought Beyond the shadow of the drought [Chorus] Oh, how we hope you know That we do the best we can, do the best we can We never knew that you would notice If we had known it, we could have planned for the rain Do the best we can, do the best we can [Post-Chorus] Oh, how we hope you know Do the best we can, do the best we can [Chorus] Oh, how we hope you know That we do the best we can, do the best we can We never knew that you would notice If we had known it, we could have planned for the rain Do the best we can, do the best we can [Post-Chorus] Oh, how we hope you know Do the best we can, do the best we can
