If I had but a single day, would fear of
some tomorrow play
Upon my mind and steal from me the present
opportunity?
If I only had one day?
If I had but a single day, would labor claim
my night and day?
Would every waking moment be consumed to
grasp prosperity,
If I only had one day ?
If I had but a single day, would I sit back
from all the fray
And wait for someone else to take initiative
to make it great,
If I only had one day?
If I had but a single day, would I find time
to kneel and pray?
Would kindness, love, and charity toward
others take priority,
If I only had one day?
Indeed, I have a single day.
I can't recover yesterday, tomorrow is beyond
my grasp.
I can't control future or past, for I only
have this day.
