I live a simple life, I take a day at a time
I spend my mornings with god before I hit the grind
The subtleties of darkness never cease to amaze
As a physical world creates a spiritual haze
Blinded by distractions
Lost in matterless affairs
Reaching through the darkness
Trusting you will meet me there
[Chorus]
Day by day, day by day
Day by day, day by day
Oh dear lord, three things I pray [one, two, three]
To see thee more clearly [day by day]
To love thee more dearly [day by day]
To follow thee more nearly [i got to take it]
Day by day
You cruise around the corner
You watch your back
You sweep your feet down alley streets
Sometimes you creep, I never see you coming
Monday, man you're on my back
Like a knapsack strapped with my heavy burden
No, you cannot condemn me
I won't buy your bag of goods
You've got nothing for me anyway
That's why I pray
[Chorus]
These three things
I do pray
Day by day
Day by day, by day, by day
[these three things]
Day by day, by day, by day
[I do pray]
Day by day, by day, by day, by day (2x) [it's one step out of time]
[Chorus]
As you walk
Day by day
Go to god and pray
"I'm gonna go your way"
[I'm gonna pray]
See thee more clearly [every day]
Love thee more dearly [oooh, oh yeah]
Follow thee more nearly [I'm gonna go your way]
Does any body hear me?
Day by day, by day, by day by
Day by day, by day, by day by
Day by day, by day, by day, by day
[I know I'm always safe with you]
[one day at a time]
