Waiting on the sun to shine,
Seems like it's been raining all year,
You start to lose all track of time,
When every day's the same
Waiting on a ship to come,
And save us from this desert island,
Some people are losing hope,
But me I've got a plan,
I'm gonna control what I can,
See I've been trying to count my blessings,
Trying to be a better man,
Trying to wake up with the early birds,
Instead of waking up who knows when,
Catch up with the ones I love,
Even the ones so far away,
Laugh and cry and keep on smiling,
And thank god there's today,
Even if that's all we get,
You'll know you made the most of it,
Don't ya think
We've all got our bills to pay,
A little stress no it don't come lightly,
No money doesn't grow on trees,
But we've got the power to change our point of view
See I've been trying to count my blessings,
Trying to be a better man,
Trying to wake up with the early birds,
Instead of waking up who knows when,
Catch up with the ones I love,
Even the ones so far away,
Laugh and cry and keep on smiling,
And thank god there's today,
Even if that's all we get,
You'll know you made the most of it,
Don't ya think
Yeah you should spend less money on a new tv,
Start spending more time helping those in need,
Read a book, Go to church just a little bit more,
Maybe you'll find what you've been looking for
Hey I've been trying to play fetch with the dogs,
Trying to learn to cook,
Trying to spread the word about a positive outlook,
Catch up with the ones I love,
Even the ones so far away,
Laugh and cry and keep on smiling,
And thank god there's today,
Even if that's all we get,
You'll know you made the most of it,
Don't ya think
Waiting on the sun to shine,
Seems like it's been raining all year
