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’ll sink or swim
Just keep the faith that your ship will come in, it’s not so bad
And I say hey hey hey it’s just an ordinary day
And it’s all your state of mind
At the end of the day
You just got to say, I say
Hey hey hey it’s just an ordinary day
And it’s all your state of mind
At the end of the day
You just got to say it’s alright
D G
It’s alright, it’s alright

I’ve got a smile on my face and I’ve got four walls around me
