I slept through the night, I got through to the dawn

I flipped a switch and the light went on

I got out of bed and I put some clothes on

Oh, it's a pretty good day so far



I turned the tap, there was cold, there was hot

I put on my coat to go to the shop

I stepped outside and I didn't get shot

Oh, it's a pretty good day so far



I didn't hear any sirens or explosions

No murders coming in from those heavy guns

No UN tanks and I didn't see one

It's a pretty good day so far



No snipers in windows taking a peak

No people panic, running scared through the streets

I didn't see any bodies without arms, legs or feet

It's a pretty good day



There was plasma bandages and electricity

Food, wood and water and the air was smoke free

No camera crews from my TV



It was all such a strange sight to be home

Nobody was frightened, wounded, hungry or cold

And the children seemed normal, they didn't look old

It's a pretty good day so far



I walked through a park, you would not believe it

There in the park, there were a few trees left

And on some branches, there were a few leaves



I slept through the night, I got through to the dawn

I flipped the switch and the light went on

I wrote down my dream, I made it this song

Oh, it's a pretty good day so far
