Even On a Bad Day You're a Child of God
Copyright Dana Clark 2006
You panic 'cause you overslept. You rush through your chores
You race out of the house and slam your thumb in the door
Then you pull into traffic just a little too slow
The pile-up leaves your crumpled car in need of a tow
You hitch a ride to work and find you've just lost your job,
Remember, even on a bad day you're a child of God
CHORUS: Oh, even on a bad day (Echo: Even on a bad day
Even on a bad day (Echo: Even on a bad day
Even on a bad day....You're a child of God
You go to dinner with some folks you hope to impress
You cut your hair. You buff your nails. You dress for success.
The ritzy place in town is where they take you to eat.
But somehow you'd forgotten that the dinner's dutch treat
They all order caviar. You can't afford cod.
Remember, even on a bad day you're a child of God
CHORUS
Your allergies are acting up. You cough and you sneeze.
The neighbors treat you like they think you have some disease
Except for that one person who has stolen your heart
Who shows up at your door holding a nice get well card
And then hands you a big bouquet of fresh golden rod
Remember, even on a bad day you're a child of God
CHORUS
In a sophisticated world you always feel like a clod
Remember, even on a bad day you're a child of God
There's races to be won but all you ever do is plod
Remember, even on a bad day you're a child of God
When everyone who's normal thinks that you're pretty odd,
Remember, even on a bad day you're a child of God
CHORUS
