I Hope I Can Make It Through the Day

I woke up this morning on the wrong side
I don’t want to face the world I just want to hide
I had a fight with you and your words hurt deep
My mind raced all night I could barely sleep

I ask God to help in the words I pray
I don’t have any clue if it will be ok
I know it’s not over I don’t know what to say
I hope I can make it through the day

Work is even harder I can’t even think
Is it four o’clock yet I need a drink
I try to concentrate but my mind will wander
I think about my life with you and ponder 
Push myself through with my will
Look at the clock as time seems to stand still

I ask God to help in the words I pray
I don’t have any clue if it will be ok
I know it’s not over I don’t know what to say
I hope I can make it through the day

I leave punch out meet friends at our favorite spot
To raise a little hell and open my heart
They listen give advice and make some cheer
I make a tough decision now its all clear
We got to change our life with a couple of things 
So we’ll be together forever and see what the future brings

I ask God to help in the words I pray
I don’t have any clue if it will be ok
I know it’s not over I don’t know what to say
I hope I can make it through the day

I head home to you as fast as I can
So we can get started on our new plan
Leave lies deception all behind
We need truth love happiness and always be kind
Remember that for each other you are my number one friend
Lets get passed it so we can start over again

I thank God with the words I pray
I know now it will be ok
I love you and there’s nothing more to say
I’m glad I made it through the day
