Lyrics

[Chorus]
Today is gonna be a great, great day
I'm gonna make it that way
Today is gonna be a great, great day
'Cause I'm gonna make it that way
[Verse 1]
Today I'm gonna be kind
Today I'm gonna be helpful
Today I just might make mistakes
But I'll learn from them and say
[Chorus]
Today is gonna be a great, great day
I'm gonna make it that way
Today is gonna be a great, great day
'Cause I'm gonna make it that way
[Verse 2]
Sometimes it's raining, sometimes it even pours
It may feel impossible to get out of the storm
Other times it's snowing, and the chilly wind may blow
But I'm still feeling warm inside, 'cause there's one thing I know
[Chorus]
Today is gonna be a great, great day
I'm gonna make it that way
Today is gonna be a great, great day
'Cause I'm gonna make it that way
[Verse 3]
Today I'm gonna be strong
Today I'm gonna be thoughtful
Today might get tough, but I've got love
And I've got enough to say
[Chorus]
Today is gonna be a great, great day
I'm gonna make it that way
Today is gonna be a great, great day
'Cause I'm gonna make it that way
[Verse 4]
Oh, things won't always be the best
And the sun won't always shine
Even when I try real hard
I can't win every time
[Bridge]
And when I'm feeling down and low, and the day just seems so long
I close my eyes, take a deep breath, and sing a little song
[Chorus]
Today is gonna be a great, great day
I'm gonna make it that way
Today is gonna be a great, great day
'Cause I'm gonna make it that way
[Outro]
'Cause I'm gonna make it that way
