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 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
