lyrics

Maybe it was not a good day. But I make at the end of the day, it was a good day.

Of course.

Any day I feel at the end, when I'm ready for bed...

You lived today!

It was a good day. I don't want to look back, what exactly was the day? It was a good day.

What went wrong today? It doesn't matter.

If I struggled, If I had to argue with people, no matter. I'm thinking about it when I go to bed and it was a good day. I get up in the morning and I say "God, please. A good day. Help me, just help me, that's all."

Another day. Brand new start, brand new day.

And I think you can achieve so much more than waiting around. Because I see some of them. Oh, they complain all the time.

A lot of people, I wonder, do a lot of people do that because they have no one to talk to? And that's just a way of saying something to somebody?

I think so. And at that time they get attention. It's strange, you know, how you go through life step by step from child and baby and growing and you're still learning, no matter how old. You're still learning.

Everyday. I'm amazed at some things and some some days that I've learned that's absolutely new. Whether it was what someone has told me or I have discovered it myself. Like it always makes me kind of think "gee, I'm this age and I'm still learning these things, isn't that wonderful? Like, thank you. This has been great!"

Yes!

Like, I didn't know this was this or that was that and now I do! Somebody said to me last week, I was at a store in town. At the drug store, actually. They said to me: "Ah! What a day out there, you know it's damp and it's cold and it's windy." And I looked at her and I said: "yeah, all of that. But you know what? I'm here. And so are you. We're right here. We're not some place else, we're right here." She said: "yes, that's true" but she wasn't impressed with that. Doesn't that sound like an eight-year-old, but it's true!

Yes. Any kind of little discovery, I'm grateful. You say "oh thank you that I still learn. If I be gone a long time ago I wouldn't know this thing, or this thing." I'm still learning. And I'm learning to be a better person.
