From morning till night so many steps we take
and so many filled with a fear of mistake
if I do this thing how will my future fare
but if I do that thing, will I ever get there
indecisiveness comes and steals all our breath
so frustrated and lost and scared half to death
to have enough energy snort lots of *******
then fill that xanax 'script again and again
gotta drink to relax and forget all the stress
hungover and frazzled, your life is a mess
what if I had done this and not that
did I make the right choice? wait, am I getting fat?
there's so much going on that you lack concentration
and everything's spiraling causing frustration
perfection perfection, if you can just reach that goal
then you can finally relax then, and deal with the toll
If you were to just take one day at a time
don't even think ahead to the end of this rhyme
just take each day step by step, hour by hour
because honestly, you don't have any more power
you cannot control what will happen tomorrow
whether you'll be filled up with joy or with sorrow
a soldier who ran 10 miles one bright morning
that night found himself with one leg without warning
A millionaire's yacht burned up in a fire
for all his hard work and right thinking to fill his desire
a guy with the perfect family life
suddenly finds he has a cheating wife
nothing is certain in this world we're in
except for the bad repercussions of sin
relax and enjoy the years of your prime
and just live your life, one day at a time
