Today Will Be a Good Day

In the sweet light of the morning
When the sun begins to rise
I was awakened by some singing
Of birds just flying by
Now they was tellin' one another
Today will be a good day
I'm gonna make it that way

I got my (?) to greet the day
Thank the good lord for what he made
Made my bed up
Had myself some coffee
Read the newspaper
To see what they had to say
Now whether it's good news
Or it's just blues
Today will be a good day
I'm gonna make it that way

Gonna be a good day
Yes a good day
A good day
I'm gonna make it that way
Gonna be a good day
Lord, a good day
Ooo good day
I wouldn't have it any other way
Now whether it's good news
Or it's just blues
Today will be a good day
I've got to make it that way, yeah, yeah

My God gave me a will
And a voice
I can make a difference
With just one choice
You see the kingdom of heaven
Is at hand
As long as I'm living
I'm gonna take a stand
I'm gonna do my best
Hear me when I say
'Cause oday will be a good day
Gonna make it that way

Gonna be a good day
Yes a good day
A good day
I'm gonna make it that way
Gonna be a good day
Lord a good day
Ooo good day
I wouldn't have it any other way
Now whether it's good news
Or it's just blues
Today will be a good day
I've got to make it that way, ooo, ooo
Hey yeah, ooo, ooo, yeah

I don't entertain boredom
I don't entertain pain
No route for depression
Don't want to complain
I've seen heaven
Bring through hell
There's so many stories I can tell
Gonna live my best
So I can honor my God
I've picked a long life
I know when I, I know that I

Gonna spread the good news
Gonna spread the good news
Lord knows that I've paid my dues
Yes today's gonna be a good day
I wouldn't have it any way
Today's gonna be
Yes today's gonna be a good day
I wouldn't have it any other way
I wouldn't have it any other way
I wouldn't have it any other way
I wouldn't have it any other way
I wouldn't have it any other way

What'd you say?
Whoo yeah!
Unh yeah!
Ooooo!
