You ask me how I am doing
I look at you
right straight in the eyes
I say that it is going okay
“I am making the grade
Just another day in paradise”
*
Thank you for asking
Sometimes I am not even kidding
It is amazing
around here
half the time
For the rest of the days
it is test after test
If we pass them all
we may soon feel sublime
*
If I can get everything that I need
That is the real test
Sometimes what we want crosses the line
Between wants and needs
Survival and greed
You know what?
So long as we are all feeling fine
*
Life is what we make it
If you get a chance take it
keep our eyes on the prize
and set goals
*
Watch for sure signs
Then make better plays
Help our causes
That’s how we should roll
*
Some days we just get by
Some hours are good times
achieve
all of the goals that we should need
What we want the most
We should really define
and work to get there
at our top speed
*
Not mincing words
What have I heard?
I work
to be understood for wellness and health
We need that wealth
to keep ourselves
above ground
and in sunshine
*
Express and tell
how our wants
and needs
combine
*
You ask me “what’s up?”
I look into your eyes
I say that things are going my way
“I am not afraid
I will get paid
Just another day in paradise”
*
Thank you for asking
Sometimes it seems to be fitting
to be in the chase
around here
half the time
Won’t take less on those days
more than a guess at best
we outlast them all
we still remain in our prime
*
You ask me how it is going
I look at you, deep into your eyes
I say that it is going okay
“Feels like we have it made
Just another day in paradise”
*
Thank you for asking
Sometimes we live far from the city
We are stargazing
around here
half the time
For the best of the days
we are blessed just so blessed
Life is fast
don’t fall
Just
elevate our time
*
Just another day in paradise
Just elevate our time
