A day at a time the world moves on;
A day at a time is our toiling done;
A day at a time do we have the dawn,
And come to the setting of the sun;
A day at a time our fate appears;
A day at a time do we build the years.
A day at a time is the only way;
Whatever we do must be done to-day.
A day at a time is lifetime sent;
A day at a time we must be content.
However distant our dream may glow,
A day at a time is all we go.
A day at a time the stones are brought,
And life’s great mosaic grandly wrought.
A day at a time--but when all are past
We shall reach the goal of our dreams at last.
