Animal Planet - Best Of Intentions lyrics

rate me

I had the best of intentions<br />

When I got out of bed today<br />

I set out to make things right<br />

Make some of the pain go away<br />

<br />

World peace seemed so out of reach<br />

So I touched the people I knew<br />

May not have stopped any wars<br />

But I accomplished a thing or two<br />

<br />

I fulfilled some promises<br />

And I gave alms to the poor<br />

I defended a helpless man<br />

Just to even the score<br />

<br />

Sometimes the best of intentions<br />

Never gets anything done<br />

I fall down on my face<br />

Start again from square one<br />

<br />

Even when things don't add up<br />

And I can do nothing more<br />

I think about the days I've won<br />

When I evened the score<br />

<br />

I fulfilled some promises<br />

And I gave alms to the poor<br />

I defended a helpless man<br />

Just to even the score<br />

<br />

I made amends with an old lover<br />

We tipped the wineglass once more<br />

Better friends than enemies<br />

Just to even the score<br />

<br />

I only wanted not to lose anymore<br />

And live to fight one day more<br />

<br />

I had the best of intentions<br />

But I think I mighta hurt someone<br />

I'll have to move a mountain<br />

To undo the damage I've done<br />

<br />

I'll fulfill some promises<br />

I'll give alms to the poor<br />

I'll defend a helpless man<br />

Just to even the score<br />

<br />

I'll make amends with an old lover<br />

We'll tip the wineglass once more<br />

Better friends than enemies<br />

Just to even the score<br />

<br />

I'll spread the wealth from a to z<br />

Rob the rich and give to the poor<br />

If only things could be that way<br />

I'd even the score
