Story Behind The Song
This song just sort of spewed out all at once, one of those rare moments where not a lot of thinking and over-analyzing happened. I wrote it for my wife as an encouragement.

Lyrics
VERSE 1
It's okay to look up when you're on your knees
just don't look behind when you open your eyes
Its hard to get hope with a kaleidoscope mind
Just breathe and take one day at a time
CHORUS
One day at a time, when things don't seem right
line by line by line one day at a time
One day at a time, you don't have to make it rhyme
line by line, one day at a time
VERSE 2
It's okay to be afraid, when you feel full of doubt
just don't be afraid to leave it behind
Cause you can't get peace when your heart's burning out
just breathe and take one day at a time
CHORUS
One day at a time, when things don't go right
Line by line, by line, one day at a time
One day at a time, you don't have to make it rhyme
Line by line, one day at a time
BRIDGE
You should see the view, from the edge of time
we're only rehearsing a couple of lines
when you close your eyes each night and drift by
dream of joy, dream of grace, dream of life
CHORUS
One day at a time, when things don't go right
line by line, by line, one day at a time
One day at a time, you don't have to make it rhyme
line by line one day at a time
line by line one day at a time
