It dawns on me I have done all I can
Before dawn I see I have done my best
I could write some things now say some things but
It is better that I keep my mouth shut
If I failed one I passed another test
I am only one lonely little man
If only I could make it right somehow
My very uttermost seems not enough
I could really use a miracle now
Nobody can tell me I am not tough
I never give up even when it seems I might as well
Never having known success it never went to my head
So I always have to do my best until I am dead
Just trying to get to heaven and just passing through hell
