All In a Day

All in a day The sunlight resumes The children still play And nap in their rooms The rich are still rich The poor are still poor But which one is which And which one is more The dreamers still dream The cunning contrive The lazy may seem More dead than alive A parent still struggles With debts that are owed With plenty of snuggles To balance the load A girl and a boy Are learning to dance But will they enjoy The song of romance The laundry is done A meal is served The victory won Is wholly deserved The desert is dry The ocean still roars The songbird can fly The eagle still soars The future is bright And love is the way To fly like a kite And all in a day!
