This is the first day of the rest of my life Could be the first day of the best of my life There could be sunlight, there could be rain But losing or winning, this is beginning all over again This is the birthday of a brand new start Change of direction, change of heart When I think of today I feel tempted to say Destiny, do your worst Of the rest of the days of the rest of my life It's only the first Each little day is a world of its own Each little day is a tomb Whenever the day has drifted away It's back to the womb As I lie alone in the darkness Waiting the next rebirth I say for me what could very well be For everyone else on earth Could be the first day of the best of my life There could be sunlight, there could be rain But losing or winning, this is beginning all over again This is the birthday of a brand new start Change of direction, change of heart When I think of today I feel tempted to say Destiny, do your worst Of the rest of the days of the rest of my life This is only the first.
