Music and Lyrics by Jay Rapoport, www.JayRapoport.com

NOTE FOR DISCUSSION: This song is based on the theme of resilience and the idea of mind over matter - that sometimes changing your perspective can change how you feel. We all have our struggles, but sometimes it helps to believe we are moving in a positive direction, even when it doesn't seem like it.

CONVERSATION STARTERS:
What makes a great day for you?
How can you help someone else have a great day?
What can you do for someone who is having a tough day?


LYRICS:
The world is wide and I am small
The grass gets green and it grows tall
Time slows down to a crawl
And I stand in awe of it all

I don’t always know where I’m headed
Sometimes I feel lost inside
But I’ll never throw the towel in
I’ve learned to enjoy the ride

CHORUS:
This is the only life I’ll live
They call it the present ‘cause it’s a gift
The hourglass sands may shift
But today is the best day of my life

The sky unfolds, no cloud in a hurry
If I could fly I’d never worry
Always be right where I’m going
Still there’s something exciting about not knowing

I don’t really know what I’m meant for
Sometimes I get lost in my mind
But I don’t need all the answers
I’m happy with what I find

CHORUS
And when destiny comes calling
I will open the door
Smile as I look all around me
And see everything I’ve been searching for

The world is wide and I am small
The grass gets greener and it grows tall
Time slows down to a crawl
And I stand in awe of it all
