I was able to discern a few of the lyrics by listening with headphones.
I'm not sure if a complete version of this song exists. If there is one, I hope it will appear on the website for download one day.
In the meantime, this is something pieced together from the song excerpts I could discern. Obviously, I took a little creative license with it and performed it with my own style. Also, my recording equipment isn't as good as Patterson's. ;) :)
I tried my best to follow the spirit of what the video and the lyrical excerpts had when putting it together.
For you songwriters or performers out there that have better voices and instrumental skills than I do, here are a rough idea of the chords and the lyrics I used in case you'd like to play this song yourself for a gathering or something. Hope you can make a variant of it yourself and give it your own style.
C
So many good things left to be done
F
So many lost hearts that need to be won
G F
Look what I found
G F
A truth that changes lives around
And I will help you climb
If you join me in this work of love
I'll be a friend to help you up when you're down
Brother, I will show you how
This is the best life ever (x2)
There will be hard times we may have to face
You may wonder, "what am i doing in this place?
But love sees the best in what there is to see
And you will feel the love of our worldwide family
And unlike other endeavors
Where joy changes to sadness with the weather
I know this will last forever
Come with me my friend
This is the best life ever
I hope you like it.

ReplyDeleteThe lyrics seems to have changed in the new video.
ReplyDeleteThese are the new lyrics.
Remark: My mother tongue is not English. Please correct me. :) I'm especially in doubt when it comes to "When I would worry about me, this world would bring me down".
---------------------------------
This world would like to make me lonely
I got my friends with me
we are trying hard to help others find
friends eternally
When I would worry about me
this world would bring me down
I’m feeling better
lifting others of the ground
Look what I’ve found.
I wanna know what I can do
I wanna give what I can give
That is the best feeling ever.
I know this will last forever.
I’m where I wanna be.
This is the best life ever.
So many good things yet to be done.
With these two hands of mine.
I’ll take some love and build us a bridge.
Connects your heart to mine.
When I would worry about me
this world would bring me down
I’m feeling better
lifting others of the ground.
Look what I found.
I wanna know what I can do
I wanna give what I can give
That is the best feeling ever.
I know this will last forever.
It’s better than a dream
This is the best life.
I’m not afraid.
Come what may.
This kind of life gets better every day.
Every day.
Every way.
I wanna live for more than me.
I wanna give till I fell free.
That is the best feeling ever.
I know this will last forever.
Come with me you’ll see.
This is the best life ever.
This is the best life ever.
This is the best life ever.
---------------------------------
I was going to share lyrics you did wonderfully! The only correction/suggestion is "I wanna give till I feel free" but otherwise I heard exactly the same lyrics! Wonderful job! I love this song. This is the best life ever!
ReplyDeleteOh yeah. Typo. :)
DeleteFell=Feel.
