Lyrics
Ordinary Day
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I've got a smile on my face and I've got four walls around me
I've got the sun in the sky, all the water surround me
Oh you know, yeah I win and sometimes I'll lose
I've been battered, but I'll never bruise... it's not so bad
Chorus
And I say way-hey-hey, it's just an ordinary day
and it's all your state of mind
At the end of the day,
you've just got to say... it's all right.
Jeana sits on the corner, what keeps her from dying
Let 'em say what they want, she won't stop trying
Oh you know, She might stumble as they push her 'round
She might fall, but she'll never lie down...it's not so bad
And I say way-hey-hey, it's just an ordinary day
and it's all your state of mind
At the end of the day,
you've just got to say... it's all right.
In this beautiful life there's always some sorrow
And it's a double-edged knife, but there's always tomorrow
Oh you know, It's up to you now if you sink or swim,
Just keep the faith that your ship will come in?.it's not so bad
And I say way-hey-hey, it's just an ordinary day
and it's all your state of mind
At the end of the day,
you've just got to say... it's all right.
And I say way-hey-hey, it's just an ordinary day
and it's all your state of mind
At the end of the day,
you've just got to say... it's all right, it's all right
I've got a smile on my face, I've got four walls around me
