[Verse 1]
Some days get heavy when your thoughts turn sour
But you can choose a little joy each hour
Take the good and bad, they're yours to own
That’s how you find your way back home
Quit reading futures in a cloudy sky
Quit keeping score of everyone nearby
You’ve got today; let that be enough
A steady heart can carry through the rough
[Chorus]
So live, love, laugh while the day is here
Make room for wonder, make room for cheer
Give more than you take, lend a hand for free
Be the kind of person you’d want to meet
Stand up for what is right, not what pays
The way you make folks feel is what stays
[Verse 2]
It’s a short little trip, so give yourself a try
You may stumble once, but you’ll learn to fly
Better to reach and miss the mark
Than keep your best intentions in the dark
Be who you want, go where you belong
Share your table, bring someone along
No one keeps your title or your car
They remember how you made them feel, wherever you are
[Chorus]
So live, love, laugh while the day is here
Make room for wonder, make room for cheer
Give more than you take, lend a hand for free
Be the kind of person you’d want to meet
Stand up for what is right, not what pays
The way you make folks feel is what stays
[Bridge]
Every day’s a little getaway
Treat the hours like a holiday
Help because a helping hand is kind
Leave the blame and fortune-telling far behind
[Final Chorus]
So live, love, laugh while the day is here
Make room for wonder, make room for cheer
Give more than you take, lend a hand for free
Be the kind of person you’d want to meet
Stand up for what is right, not what pays
The way you make folks feel is what stays
[Outro]
Take the day, and let your good heart lead
A little love is all the world will need
