I had the best of intentions

When I got out of bed today

I set out to make things right

Make some of the pain go away



World peace seemed so out of reach

So I touched the people I knew

May not have stopped any wars

But I accomplished a thing or two



I fulfilled some promises

And I gave alms to the poor

I defended a helpless man

Just to even the score



Sometimes the best of intentions

Never gets anything done

I fall down on my face

Start again from square one



Even when things don't add up

And I can do nothing more

I think about the days I've won

When I evened the score



I fulfilled some promises

And I gave alms to the poor

I defended a helpless man

just to even the score



I made amends with an old lover

We tipped the wineglass once more

Better friends than enemies

Just to even the score



I only wanted not to lose anymore

And live to fight one day more



I had the best of intentions

But I think I mighta hurt someone

I'll have to move a mountain

To undo the damage I've done



I'll fulfill some promises

I'll give alms to the poor

I'll defend a helpless man

Just to even the score



I'll make amends with an old lover

We'll tip the wineglass once more

Better friends than enemies

Just to even the score



I'll spread the wealth from a to z

Rob the rich and give to the poor

If only things could be that way

I'd even the score
