The Best Life Ever (The Background Song)



As I talked to my friends, I was happy to find out that I am not the only one who wants to hear the original and full version of the background song in the new short video "The Best Life Ever."

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.
