I've always been a drifter
Living day by day
I've taken chances
When they've shown up on my way
Yeah I've been a dreamer
Dreaming through the day

I've walked the path of life
Not once but more than twice
I've been to hell and
I have been to paradise
And I wanna tell you
I take it day by day

You can't take your life for granted
But you can live it all out yes you can
You know that it's only rented

Tell me a story where nothing is true
Paint me a picture where angels are blue
Show me the ending that's only beginning
And I will take it day by day
I will take it day by day

I've helped a child be born
I've seen somebody die
I watched the world at war
Heard the politicians lie
And I'm gonna tell you
I take it day by day

I don't have to worry
I don't ever look back
Cause I go on and on and on and on
I go on
