Today I met a man, sittin' on the corner

He was holdin' out his hand, had a couple quarters

That he saved up in a can, I think I heard him whisper that you'll never understand

Damn, no place to call his home said he lives alone so he's forced to roam

With a shopping cart filled to the top with every thing he owns

A smile on his face, yep there he stood

He was holdin' up sign sayin' life is good

Man, I wonder what it'd be like, a day in his shoes

I guess when you got nothin', you got nothin' to lose

He said boy, don't you pity me, I'm still standin' tall

As a matter of fact, I got it all.

I got life, I got love

I got faith and that's enough

We feel sorrow, we feel pain

But there's sunshine after rain

So I'm alright (you'll be fine, take it one day at time)

So I'm alright (said you'll be fine, take it one day at time)

Today I met a man makes a couple hundred grand

Always stressin' out got 2 cell phones in his hand

Lives the country club life, think he's on his 3rd wife

Never makes it home for dinner cause he's workin' every night

5 cars in the garage, 4 he's never drivin'

Always wantin' more than just the life that he's been given

Gotta strange obsession with material possessions

Now he's always poppin' prozac to battle his depression

He's got everything he's ever wanted, and he's always tryin' to flaunt it

But now it's all comin' back to haunt him

Mistaken want's important in life for all the pointless stuff

For some people, everything's just not enough.

I got life, I got love

I got faith and that's enough

We feel sorrow, we feel pain

But there's sunshine after rain

So I'm alright (you'll be fine, take it one day at time)

So I'm alright (said you'll be fine, take it one day at time)

You gotta keep goin', never give it up

You only live once, might as well live it up

Every breath I take is a reason to believe

That the finest things in life, came to me for free

Said you gotta keep goin', never give it up

You only live once, might as well live it up

Every breath I take is a reason to believe

That the finest things in life, came to me for free.

I got life, I got love

I got faith and that's enough

We feel sorrow, we feel pain

But there's sunshine after rain

So I'm alright (you'll be fine, take it one day at time)

Yeah, you got, nothing to lose, haha...
