One day at a time, we can learn to leave the past behind
One day at a time, we can look the future in the eye
One day at a time, we can learn to live

The gates of the Garden are open, wide; and the trusting
Seventy thousand will enter of them, without reckoning

One day at a time, we can learn to leave our fears behind
One day at a time, we can stare our hopes in the eye
One day at a time, we can learn to live

And if you meet the evening, don’t wait for the Sun to rise

One day at a time, we can leave old treasures behind
One day at a time, we can watch the clocks unwind

One day at a time, a child is born into this world, eyes blind
But one day he will find his sight, and glimpse another kind of Light
To live by – one day

One day at a time, we can put machines behind
One day at a time, we learn how birds survive
One day at a time, we can learn to fly
