Cover Song: "Ordinary Day" (Patreon)

I first heard this song attached to a Doctor Who fan video, which you can still find on YouTube.

I've got a smile on my face, I've got four walls around meThe sun in the sky, the water surrounds meI'll win now but sometimes I'll loseI've been battered, but I'll never bruiseIt's not so bad

[Chorus]And I say way-hey-hey, it's just an ordinary dayAnd it's all your state of mindAt the end of the day, you've just got to sayIt's all right

Janie sings on the corner, what keeps her from dying?Let them say what they want, she won't stop tryingShe might stumble, if they push her 'roundShe might fall, but she'll never lie downIt's not so bad

[Chorus]

In this beautiful life, there's always some sorrowIt's a double-edged knife, but there's always tomorrowIt's up to you now if you sink or swimJust keep the faith and your ship will come inIt's not so bad

And I say way-hey-hey, it's just an ordinary dayAnd it's all your state of mindAt the end of the day, you've just got to say

I say way-hey-hey, it's just an ordinary dayAnd it's all your state of mindAt the end of the day, you've just got to sayIt's alright

'Cause it's alright, it's alright

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