A DAY AND A LIFE

Pick any day, and open your eyes

Shouldn’t you be glad to be alive

But you’ve gone away, nobody knows where

And all you’ve got to say is you don’t care

When you’re torn and shattered

You find out what really matters, and what you’ll do for love

And it don’t take knowin’ much about what’s goin’ on

To see the world needs healin’

CHORUS I

Every time I look up, and I’m feelin’ good

I thank my lucky stars, and I knock on wood

For just another day in the life

For every fall I must take I surely know

We learn the hard way, but then we’re all set, and we’re good to go

On any day of our lives

It’s a day and a life – that’s all, just a day and a life

He settles in, another night alone

He’s too afraid to trust when it’s all a danger zone

And the years roll right by, and hope wears thin

That he’ll ever have another life again

It’s a deep sad ocean, he’s got a life in slow motion

And it’s just tickin’ away

And it don’t help knowin’ when your life’s just blowin’ away

Day by day by day

CHORUS II

Every day I wake up, and within my sight

I see a miracle, and I know I’m right

Right in the middle of a day and a life

For every tear that falls I’m a lucky man

For every mystery I’ll never understand

It’s just a day and life – just a day and a life
