The bright sun shining above my head,

The cool breeze blowing through my hair,

The smell of the damp mud arousing my senses,

Is just making me feel,

Oh what a wonderful day!

The wide road I walk on,

The lush green fields on either side,

The bright coloured flowers swinging with the wind,

Are making me feel,

Oh what a wonderful day!

The happiness flowing through my veins,

The smile on my face, refusing to step back,

The glitter in my eyes, sparkling bright,

Is just making me feel,

Oh what a wonderful day!

I refuse to succumb to downbeat thoughts,

I refuse to take diminutive steps,

I refuse to close my eyes to the light,

Cuz I know, how I feel,

Oh what a wonderful day!

Before I could stretch my smile wider,

Before I could wish for the moment to never end,

Before I could take a giant leap, I tumble over on the ground,

And fall flat on my face,

Oh what a wonderful day!

I open my eyes to darkness, the light and magnificence all gone,

A rug soaked in dirt, a bitter smell suffocating my lungs,

I squeak my eyes to glare deeper into infinity,

I wish this aint reality, I wish for my magic wand,

Is this a wonderful day?

I rise on my feet, to move in random directions,

To look for a helping hand, to look for my own shadow,

Only to tumble again, only to add to my bruises,

I feel my wounds and begin to contemplate,

Is this still a wonderful day?

My soul is shaken, and my knees broken,

But the fading hope inside me is the reason am still moving,

Rip my flesh, break my bones,

But you cant rip the strong spirit inborn,

I pull myself up, and push harder harder,

For I know there is a light towards the end of the tunnel,

For I know, what I see with my eyes closed,

Aint just dreams,

For I still believe, that I have the power,

To still make this,

A wonderful day!
