Hear people complaining They say they got dealt The roughest deal They cry when it's raining No bread for the latest meal But if there's no heaven You can be sure there's no hell And if there's no devil There won't be no god to hear you yell See people get holy They're turning some plain water to wine They're living life slowly They can look up and see The day turn fine But ask them the question And no answer is there Whether you're eastern or western There's only one pace that we can share One day at a time See people get sickly The shock pa**es down from bad to worse The backs up and prickly Roll in a ball and pretend You got no purse But if this continues where does it all end? I'm in the retinue Till i see broken wishes mend One day at a time So when you get lonely Be good to yourself and bless the day Know you are the only One who can deliver what i say Try fighting the fever Try popping the pill Become a believer Try separating life from still One day at a time
