Chorus:
Today was a good day, I was feeling fine
Today was a good day, and the sun did shine…..
Yesterday was stormy, gray clouds everywhere
Sure was hard to get moving, with that thunder pinning me to my chair.
Chorus
You never know what tomorrow will bring, ‘cause trouble seems to run in packs,
Worries, crises, miseries, knocking us on our back
Chorus
So hard to stay in the here and now, my mind makes run all around
Rat race, fast-paced craziness, I want to slow things down.
Just got to take things one day at a time
No way to plan ahead
I thought I’d have a storybook life
Got a few surprises instead
Chorus
I’m not gonna fret about tomorrow, somehow I’ll get out of bed
Pay some bills, play some songs, get those hungry kids fed
Chorus

They’re running around, they’re having fun
But it’s the end of the day and I’m tired
Work to do and worries galore,
Money’s still tight and I’m tired.
How can it be that now I’m the one with all this load on my shoulders?
I still feel like I’m just one of the kids, but they’re all calling me mom,
They’re all calling me mom!
What should they eat and what should they wear?
What do I do when they’re fighting?
How many times do I have to say no?
I can’t stand hearing the whining!
How can it be that now I’m the one with all this load on my shoulders?
I still feel like I’m just one of the kids, but they’re all calling me mom,
They’re all calling me mom!
Slowing down enough to hear what you’re telling me
The quiet times without the words are when I really see.
And all I want is for them to be healthy
Strong kids who know who they are
That infinite wisdom they had in them at birth
Just let me not cause hurt.
How can it be that now I’m the one with all this load on my shoulders?
I still feel like I’m just one of the kids, but they’re all calling me mom,
They’re all calling me mom, they’re all calling me mom!
