Lyrics
(V1)
You wake up in the morning, it's a blistery looking day
It makes no sense to what the weather man said yesterday
On the radio they analyze the situation at hand
They pick the man apart in hopes to understand
(CHORUS 1)
I'm taking one day at a time
Breathing is easier, won't complicate my mind
Figuring out may just be wasting time
Keep it simple, keep a focused mind
(V2)
Meaningless, oh meaningless, a chasing after wind
Envy of a neighbor or a so called friend
It's good to find happiness in your labor under the sun
To be filled with gladness, gladness in your heart
(CHORUS 2)
I'm taking one day at a time
Breathing is easier, won't complicate my mind
We're all designed with some sort of specialty
Follow your heart, follow your dreams
(BRIDGE)
All it takes are simple steps,
one step at a time
To reach those goals in life, to fulfill
those life changing colorful dreams
(V3)
You wake up in the morning, it's a blistery looking day
It makes no sense to what the weather man said yesterday
In this life we may never really understand the fullness of God or the whole of His plan
CHORUS 1
