Today Will Be a Good Day

Lyrics

[Intro] This song right here is a very special song to me You see, the words of this song I can't really take full credit for having written 'cause it's words that I've heard my mama say every day of her life This is her creed and this is her song And now I get to spread the good news and sing it to the world, mhm [Verse 1] In the sweet light of the morning When the sun begins to rise I was awakened by some singing Of birds just flying by Now they was telling one another Today will be a good day I'm gonna make it that way [Verse 2] I got myself up to greet the day Thank the good Lord for what he made Made my bed up, had myself some coffee I read the newspaper to see what they had to say Now whether it's good news or it's just blues Today will be a good day I'm gonna make it that way [Chorus] Gonna be a good day Yes, a good day Good day I'm gonna make it that way Gonna be a good day Lord, a good day Woo, good day I wouldn't have it any other way Now whether it's good news or it's just blues Today will be a good day I've got to make it that way, yeah, yeah, yeah [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] My God gave me a will, ooh, and a voice I can make a difference with just one choice You see, the kingdom of heaven is at hand As long as I'm living, woo, I'm gonna take a stand I'm gonna do my best, hear me when I say 'Cause today will be a good day I'm gonna make it that way [Chorus] Gonna be a good day Gonna be a good day Gonna be a good day Wouldn't have it any other way Gonna be a good day Yeah, a good day Gonna be a good day Lord, a good day Whether it's good news or it's just blues Today will be a good day I've got to make it that way, ooh, ooh Hey yeah, oh, hoo, hey yeah yeah [Outro] I don't entertain boredom, don't entertain pain Don't root for depression, don't wanna complain I've seen heaven, been through hell There's so many stories I can tell Gonna live my best life long as I got I've lived a long life and I know a lot Yes, I know a lot, I know a lot Gonna spread the good news Gonna spread the good news Lord knows that I've paid my dues Yes, today's gonna be a good day I wouldn't have it any way Oh, today's gonna be Yes, today's gonna be a good day I wouldn't have it any other way I wouldn't have it any other way I wouldn't have it any other way Ooh, I wouldn't have it any other way I would not have it any other way What'd you say?
