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 the 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
