Hear people complaining   They say they got dealt   The roughest deal   They cry when it's raining   No bread for the latest meal   But if there's no heaven   You can be sure there's no hell   And if there's no devil   There won't be no god to hear you yell   See people get holy   They're turning some plain water to wine   They're living life slowly   They can look up and see   The day turn fine   But ask them the question   And no answer is there   Whether you're eastern or western   There's only one pace that we can share      One day at a time      See people get sickly   The shock passes down from bad to worse   The backs up and prickly   Roll in a ball and pretend   You got no purse   But if this continues where does it all end?   I'm in the retinue   Till i see broken wishes mend      One day at a time      So when you get lonely   Be good to yourself and bless the day   Know you are the only   One who can deliver what i say   Try fighting the fever   Try popping the pill   Become a believer   Try separating life from still      One day at a time
