Song of the Day

Ordinary Day
Written by Doyle/McCann of Great Big Sea



I’ve got a smile on my face and I’ve got four walls around me.
Got the sun in the sky, all the waters surround me.
Oh, you know, yeah, I win now and sometimes I lose.
I’ve been battered, but I never bruise.
It’s not so bad.

And I say way-hey-hey, it’s just an ordinary day,
and it’s all your state of mind.
At the end of the day, you’ve just got to say,
it’s alright.

Janie sings on the corner, what keeps her from dyin'?
Let 'em say what they want, she won’t stop tryin'.
Oh, you know, she might stumble, if they push her ’round.
She might fall, but she’ll never lie down.
It's not so bad.

And I say way-hey-hey, it’s just an ordinary day,
and it’s all your state of mind.
At the end of the day, you’ve just got to say,
it’s alright.

It's alright, it's alright. It's alright.

In this beautiful life, there’s always some sorrow.
And it’s a double edged knife, but there’s always tomorrow.
Oh, you know, it’s up to you now if you sink or swim.
Just keep the faith that your ship will come in.
It’s not so bad.

And I say way-hey-hey, it’s just an ordinary day,
and it’s all your state of mind.
At the end of the day, you’ve just got to say,
I say way-hey-hey, it’s just an ordinary day,
and it’s all your state of mind.
At the end of the day, you’ve just got to say, it’s alright.

It's alright, it's alright.

'Cause I've got a smile on my face and I've got four walls around me.
