I was walking one day with heavy thoughts, & I came across an abandon shop with a park bench outside of it. There was a quote on that park bench that I turned into song that was very uplifting. This is the result.

lyrics

This is the beginning of a new day,
God has given me this day to use as I will.
I can waste it, or use it for good,
But what I do today is important,
Because I am exchanging a day of my life for it.
When tomorrow comes, this day will be gone forever.
Leaving in it's place something that I have traded for it.
I want it to be gain; and not loss.
Good; and not evil.
Success; and not failure,
In order that I shall not regret the price that I have paid for it.
REPEAT:
