Gina sings on the corner, what keeps her from dying Let them say what they want, but she won't stop trying..Oh you know, She might stumble, they push her 'round She might fall, but she'll never lie down...it's not so bad And I say way-hey-hey, it's just an ordinary day And it's all your state of mind At the end of the day, You've just got to say... it's all right. It's alright, it's alright...it's ALRIGHT. 'Cause in this beautiful life there's always some sorrow And It's a double-edged knife, but there's always tomorrow..Oh you know, It's up to you now if you sink or swim, Just keep the faith and you're ship will come inâ?¦.it's not so bad And I say way-hey-hey, it's just an ordinary day And it's all your state of mind At the end of the day, You've just got to say... I say way-hey-hey, it's just an ordinary day And it's all your state of mind At the end of the day, You've just got to say... it's all right, it's all right I've got a smile on my face, and I've got four walls around me
