Best thing

I know the road you're on
And where it's leading to
There ain't no coming back
If you make it through
It'll cost you everything
With nothing to show for it
But if you want it better, child
Here's your chance to go for it

The best thing in life
Is definitely free
The best thing in life
Is good for you and me

One thing's for certain
I have been taught
The key to heaven
Just can't be bought
'Cause the standard is perfection
And we are all short of it
In came Jesus
And he was above it

The best thing in life
Is definitely free
The best thing in life
Is good for you and me

Jesus on the cross
Paid the penalty
And offers back to us
Life eternally
The choice is up to you
Just remember this
No matter what you've done
Well, Jesus, he forgives, yeah

The best thing in life
Is definitely free
The best thing in life
Is definitely free

You hear what I'm sayin'?
The best thing in life
Is definitely free
The best thing in life
Is definitely free
The best thing in life
Is definitely free
