Beauty in the "Ordinary Day"

One of my favorite bands, Great Big Sea.  They are excellent live, in case you want to check them out.  They are not only fun and exciting but their music is fabulous.  This song, "Ordinary Day" has been known to get me through the day.  It reminds us that there is absolutely something great that we can get out of every ordinary day.  Check out the lyrics below and enjoy your day!

Happy Weekend!

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 surrounds me, oh you know.

God, I'll win now but sometimes I'll lose
I've been battered, but I'll never bruise, it's not so bad.

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 alright

She's working out 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...

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 alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright

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
You just keep the faith that your ship will come in, it's not so bad.

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

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 alright, 

it's alright, it's alright

'Cause I've got a smile on my face
And I've got four walls around me
