One day, one day at a time One day, one day at a time Sometimes I feel just like I did in the eighth grade All alone, insecure, and so very afraid Seems like everybody else they got it figured out While I’m stuck here in another nervous breakdown Life crashes like a panic attack The fear of the future breaks me in half I try so hard but it’s a losing fight I fake a smile in the day, and fall apart at night I’m laying awake ‘cause I just can’t sleep I toss and I turn but can’t find no peace I keep praying to God, He keeps telling me Don’t worry, don’t worry Don’t borrow no trouble from tomorrow You’ll only double your sorrow You’ll only worry your mind Don’t borrow no trouble from tomorrow If you’re gonna learn to follow You gotta take it One day, one day at a time One day, one day at a time One day, one day at a time I wanna learn to hold my life a little looser Live in the moment instead of in the future Let tomorrow worry about itself And be here right now, trust all is well ‘Cause the flowers and birds they don’t worry a bit And a good God takes good care of them And He loves you and me so much more than this So don’t worry, don’t worry Don’t borrow no trouble from tomorrow You’ll only double your sorrow You’ll only worry your mind Don’t borrow no trouble from tomorrow If you’re gonna learn to follow You gotta take it One day, one day at a time One day, one day at a time One day, one day at a time To the weary moms and the worn out dads And the middle school kid who’s always picked last You gotta take it, you gotta take it One day at a time To the downcast and doubters and misfits like me To the addicts who are fighting through recovery You gotta take it, you gotta take it One day at a time To the struggling saints on the narrow road When you’re anxious, depressed and feeling alone You gotta take it, you gotta take it One day at a time To all God’s children, let’s never forget We’re forgiven and free, but we are not home yet We gotta take it, we gotta take it One day, one day, one day Don’t borrow no trouble from tomorrow You’ll only double your sorrow You’ll only worry your mind Don’t borrow no trouble from tomorrow If you’re gonna learn to follow You gotta take it One day, one day at a time One day, one day at a time One day, one day at a time
