The chapter of life that I love
is living all the way then going above
Life before death is the way to go
Is there another way to do it, I don’t know
I cannot explain why I love it so much
But living happily is to die as such
Happy or not, though, the life is good
Almost anyone could have it, I know they could
Long long ago, I lay in bed
I felt like I’d be better off dead
I sat right down wondering why
The world would not just let me die
I spent my days thinking up reasons
To not be living through any seasons
Every time I opened my eyes
I felt like my faith was low not high
But one day I went though the change of my life
When I finally had lived through quite enough strife
I realized me living was the key to it all
I’d finally made an important call
A call to God to restore my sanity
Was all I needed to withstand humanity
A call to God gave me faith and hope
I no longer felt like hanging from a rope
Every day now I wish to live
I cannot know what each day will give
But any day that I am alive
Is better than being cut with so many knives
I never want myself to be dead
I’d rather be home eating some bread
The Lord is with me wherever I go
And I love living like you’ll never know
My perfect day oh perfect day
I feel like living my life my way
If I lose the joy of living my life
My reasonable happiness leaves me with my strife
I better be living this time of year
It don’t matter if I shed a tear
If I’m not living happy or not
Forever in a web I shall be caught
My perfect day oh perfect day
My life shall go on I shall have no dismay
If I am not happy alive or dead
Then off the world goes with my head
I want to live, that is my way
My perfect day oh perfect day
My perfect day oh perfect day
Life shall go on or so they say
I want to live for I am free
To do many things of value I see
I love to play music even swim
I don’t care if my body is slim
I live my life breathing and glad
Glad I don’t die, man that would be bad
I ain’t afraid to be called up yonder
But it ain’t my time yet so it I won’t ponder
My life is mine I won’t be swayed
My perfect day oh perfect day
