One day at a time

We can learn to leave the past behind

One day at a time

We can look the future in the eye

One day at a time

We can learn to live


The gates of the garden are open

Wide and trusting

70 thousand will enter

Of them without reckoning


One day at a time

We can learn to leave our fears behind

One day at a time

We can stare our hopes in the eye

One day at a time

We can learn to live


And if you meet the evening

Don't wait for the sun to rise


One day at a time

We can leave all treasures behind

One day at a time

We can watch the clocks unwind

One day at a time

A child is born into this world

Eyes blind

One day he will find his sign

And glimpse some other kind of life to live by

One day


One day at a time

We can put machines behind

One day at a time

We can learn how birds survive

One day at a time

We can learn to fly
