I wake up in the night
The nightmare comes alive
My heart is beating like a drum

It's only 3 a.m
Oh, here I go again
I close my eyes but sleep won't come

It's been like this for too long
I get back up and carry on

One day at a time
No mountain to climb
But sometimes it don't come easy
One day at a time
Or I lose my mind
That's all I can do, believe me

The sun comes creepin' in
I've had no sleep again
It's been another long, long night

This thing won't go away
It's time to face the day
What can I do to make things right?
It's been like this since you've been gone
I find the strength to carry on

One day at a time
No mountain to climb
But sometimes it don't come easy
One day at a time
Or I lose my mind
That's all I can do, believe me

It's been like this far too long
I found the will to carry on

One day at a time
No mountain to climb
But sometimes it don't come easy
One day at a time
Or I lose my mind
That's all I can do, believe me

One day at a time
No mountain to climb
But sometimes it don't come easy
One day at a time
Or I lose my mind
That's all I can do, believe me
One day at a time
One day at a time
