An upbeat song full of sage advice on how to be the best person you can be - written for my children
lyrics
Choose your moment, choose your next move carefully
Choose your own path, and take your lessons with you
Be the person, the person you set out to be
Rise above the, the adversity
And hope, against the odds
Against the dying of the day
Wooooo-oo-ooo
Wooooo-oo-ooo
Take your chances, take only what you really need
But give it all back, when it's time to pay don't,
Be distracted, by their bitter jealousies
'Cos they don't get you, so don't let them get to you
Have faith, when all seems lost, when trouble brings you no reprieve
Wooooo-oo-ooo, whenever
Wooooo-oo-ooo, whenever life gets in the way,
Dooooo-oo-ooo, whatever, gets you through the day
Whatever Gets You Through The Day
Take a picture, keep it for the memories,
But don't forget there's, more to the forest than the trees
Fight your corner, defend your integrity
But know when to back down, and when to walk away
And love, when love is scarce,
Make your compassion your decree
Fill your heart with honesty, and the truth shall set you free
Wooooo-oo-ooo
Wooooo-oo-ooo
Wooooo-oo-ooo, whenever
Wooooo-oo-ooo, whenever life gets in the way,
Dooooo-oo-ooo, whatever, gets you through the day
Wooooo-oo-ooo, whenever
Wooooo-oo-ooo, whenever life gets in the way,
Dooooo-oo-ooo, whatever, gets you through the day
Whatever Gets You Through The Day
