Just another Monday morning
 I'm pushing my way through the traffic jam
 Nothing really seems to move
 I'm trying to get ahead the best I can

 I start thinking about my life
 And about what let me get this far
 Is a tiny little wheel inside a big machine
 Really all we are

 Not today
 This day is mine
 Everything's just perfect
 I can feel the whole world's gently swinging my way

 After all
 That I've been through
 All that lies behind me
 It feels like there's a whole new life and it's just begun

 I get right out of my car
 I feel that I've got better things to do
 Can't see yet what that might be
 But it's a fact a change was overdue

 I know it is not always wise
 To simply run away
 But I don't mind the consequences
 At least not today

 This day is mine
 Everything's just perfect
 I can feel the whole world's gently swinging my way

 After all
 That I've been through
 All that lies behind me
 It feels like there's a whole new life and it's just begun

 Ask yourself if you really are
 The one you want to be
 Look around and say if you see
 What you wish there would be

 Every now and then our balance slips away
 Every now and then what we get isn't worth the price we pay

 I'm tired of trying to meet
 Someone else's expectations
 For the price of missing my own
 That just gave me frustration

 That chase for money
 Was a plan that surely had to fail
 So my decision's clear, from this day on I am
 Not for sale

 This day is mine
 Everything's just perfect
 I can feel the whole world's gently swinging my way

 After all
 That I've been through
 All that lies behind me
 It feels like there's a whole new life and it's just begun
