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
