I slept through the night, I got through to the dawn   I flipped a switch and the light went on   I got out of bed and I put some clothes on   Oh, it's a pretty good day so far      I turned the tap, there was cold, there was hot   I put on my coat to go to the shop   I stepped outside and I didn't get shot   Oh, it's a pretty good day so far      I didn't hear any sirens or explosions   No murders coming in from those heavy guns   No UN tanks and I didn't see one   It's a pretty good day so far      No snipers in windows taking a peak   No people panic, running scared through the streets   I didn't see any bodies without arms, legs or feet   It's a pretty good day      There was plasma bandages and electricity   Food, wood and water and the air was smoke free   No camera crews from my TV      It was all such a strange sight to be home   Nobody was frightened, wounded, hungry or cold   And the children seemed normal, they didn't look old   It's a pretty good day so far      I walked through a park, you would not believe it   There in the park, there were a few trees left   And on some branches, there were a few leaves      I slept through the night, I got through to the dawn   I flipped the switch and the light went on   I wrote down my dream, I made it this song   Oh, it's a pretty good day so far
