[Leadin, Groovy shuffle drums, snappy snare, walking bass, clav accents, Warm horn stabs, Hammond swells, call-and-response backings] [Verse 1 – laid-back shuffle groove, playful delivery] Busted bike — rollin’ down the hill Mama’s shoutin’, I’m laughin’ still First slow dance at the old school gym Lights were low, hope was dim Punched a wall ‘cause I felt too small Got caught stealin’ at the mall Hearts break—yeah, I learned young But I still taste every song I sung (Ohhh yeah…) [Chorus – swing into the groove, big smile delivery] The best is yet to come! We’ve been low, but we still hum Every fall just feeds the fire Every scar lifts us higher The best is yet to come! Ain’t no beat we can’t outrun Life's a rhythm we become— The best is yet to come! (That’s right—just wait and see!) [Verse 2 – syncopated phrases, bounce in the bassline] Cheap rent, midnight job Shared a floor with a dog named Bob First “I love you” slipped out wrong Next one stuck for way too long Drove all night, just to turn around Found myself in a nowhere town Cried, laughed, danced alone— But hey, I made that mess my own (Mmm… you know it!) [Chorus – call and response layers, add horns] The best is yet to come! (Yeah!) We got soul, we got drum Let ‘em roll, don’t play it safe Every mistake just carves the shape The best is yet to come! We’re not broken, just well-spun Life ain't over, we just begun— The best is yet to come! (Ohhh baby now!) [Bridge – slow breakdown, percussive snaps, tight vocals] [Clav groove + handclaps] We’ve all been tired, we’ve all been tried We’ve all been lost, tongue-tied, denied But look again—behind that fear There’s a groove, pullin’ you near [Band swells – full rhythm resumes] [Verse 3 – swinging hard, celebratory tone] Burnt toast, open tabs Wedding vows and late-night cabs First tattoo, missed my flight Kissed a stranger, felt just right Tried too hard, let it go Found my rhythm real damn slow Life ain’t neat, it ain’t a sum— But man oh man, it sure can hum (Hit it!) [Final Chorus – everything in, gospel-style backings] The best is yet to come! Let the choir shout and strum Every wrong, a melody Every fall, a harmony The best is yet to come! Ain’t no shadow blocks the sun We keep dancin’ ‘til we’re done— The best is yet to come! (One more time now!) [Outro – repeat chorus hook over groove fade] 🎶 The best... is yet to come… 🎶 Oh-ohhh... yeah, we're still hummin’... 🎶 Still strummin’... still runnin’... 🎶 Still risin’... here it comes!
