another day here on earth

there's a howling wind on the prairie tonight

I watch it from the safety of my TV

all around the world right now

there's lots of folks like you and me

fighting fiercely for their lives

trying hard to just survive

fright and fear in all their eyes

as they defend themselves from hurt

it's just another day here on earth

there are rich folks out on the town tonight

they haven't got a care

all inside their own little worlds

no worries are found in there

or maybe that's the way it seems

living someone else's dreams

do you have the ways and means

do you know what it's worth

it's just another day here on earth

what does this mean for you and me

working for our daily bread

with lives that question and explain

what it could be like instead

joy and sorrow coexist

pain may be in a flying fist

answers lie inside the mist

we've been searching since birth

it's just another day here on earth
