Living From Day To Day



I once heard a preacher say
that no matter what your troubles,
life will go on anyway


Have you ever seen a tramp?
Have you ever wondered why
he's not like other people,
who will strive, try and try


Why he's given up so easy,
why he won't face the test,
why he won't, like other people
plan for happiness


Is the reason that he's lazy
any reason why we should
look upon him as an outcast
and say that he's no good


For no matter what your status
if you're born upon this sod,
what right have you to judge him,
he's still a son of God


What difference does it make
if he's lazy more or less,
so long as he remains upon
the path of righteousness


What difference does it make
if he idles time away,
for no matter who you are,
you live from day to day,
and no matter how it's done,
life will go on anyway
