Writer's Block: Your Theme

[the_goren_show]

 The link back to the writer's block kept killing my post and so I killed it!  The writer's block question was "If you had a theme song for daily life, what would it be?"
 

Well, I know there are any number of theme songs I'd like to have, just like I know there is really only one song that sums up so neatly what it's like for a little man trying to do big things in the wide world.  I'm content to be a little man trying to accomplish big things.  I don't have any desire to be a celebrity for living or dying, I just want to make changes in the world one person at a time.  That means that most times, I make up my own mind on the events in the world and no celebrity spokesperson is going to get me sign up for a cause I don't already wholeheartedly believe in.  I'm human, and ever erring while I strive and I have some amazing people in my corner.  I've met some of them face to face and others I will never meet, but they still believe in me, so I'm doing something right.  To them, from just another little man trying to do big things, I present my theme song with all the love and thanks and more gratitude than I know how to express...

Day by Day - Doug & The Slugs

Bad news don't ruin my appetite
Don't let the papers tell me if it's wrong or right
I just do what I do and I do it day by day by day by day. 

I live life, might take it slow
Make mistakes but Oh! that's the way it goes
I just know what I know and I know it day by day by day by day

Day by day I'm feeling stronger
Day by day I'm lasting longer
Day by day you help me make my way

I speak up with I feel it's right
I jump up with I know that I've got to fight
Until then, I just take it day by day by day by day

Day by day I'm feeling stronger
Day by day I'm lasting longer
Day by day you help me make my way

(with you) don't worry about it
(with you) don't worry about it
(with you) don't worry about it
Day by day by day by day

Sometimes, late at night, I feel strangely blue,
Sometimes, late at night, I need what I get from you,

Day by day, you show me a better way
Day by day, you help me to find a place
Day by day, you help me make it
Day by day by day by day by

Day by day I'm feeling stronger
Day by day I'm lasting longer
Day by day you help me make my way

Day by day I'm feeling stronger
Day by day I'm lasting longer
Day by day you help me make my way
Day by day by day by day by ..

Day by day I'm feeling stronger
Day by day I'm lasting longer
Day by day you help me make my way
