It's A Great Day To Be Alive

I got rice cooking in the microwave
 I got a three day beard, I don't plan to shave
 And it's a goofy thing but I just gotta say, I'm doing all right
 I think I'll make me some homemade soup
 I'm feeling pretty good and that's the truth
 It's neither drink nor drug induced, no I'm just doing all right
 And it's a great day to be alive
 I know the sun's still shining when I close my eyes
 It's hard times in the neighborhood
 But why can't everyday be just this good

 It's been fifteen years since I left home
 Said good luck to every seed I'd sown
 Gave it my best, then I left it alone
 I hope they're doing all right
 Redbird, redbird what do you see?
 He says, "I see a lone wolf looking at me
 Head in the clouds but harmless as a tree
 I guess he's doing all right"
 And it's a great day to be alive
 I know the sun's still shining when I close my eyes
 It's hard times in the neighborhood
 But why can't everyday be just this good
 Sometimes it's lonely
 Sometimes it's only me and the shadows that fill this room
 Sometimes I'm falling, desperately calling, howling at the moon
 ♪
 It's a colorful life that we go through
 It's neither black or white, nor just shades of blue
 ...Maybe I'll grow me a fu man chu
