Great Big Sea: Great Big Sea – Ordinary Day

I’ve got a smile on my face, and I’ve got four walls around me I’ve got the sun in the sky, all the water surround me, oh you know Yeah, I’ll win now but sometimes I’ll lose I’ve been battered, but I never bruise It’s not so bad Chorus: And I say way-hey-hey, it’s just an ordinary day And it’s all your state of mind At the end of the day, you’ve just got to say It’s all right Janie sings on the corner, what keeps her from dying? Let them say what they want, she won’t stop trying, oh you know She might stumble, if they push her ’round She might fall, but she’ll never lie down It’s not so bad 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 sink or swim Just keep the faith and your ship will come in It’s not so bad
