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
