One Day at a Time Medley: One Day at a Time / Mockingbird Hill / Busted Songtext
von Foster & Allen

I′m only human, I'm just a man
Help me believe in what I could be and all that I am
Show me the stairway I have to climb
Lord, for my sake, teach me to take one day at a time

One day at a time, sweet Jesus
That′s all I'm asking from you
Just give me the strength to do everyday
What I have to do

Yesterday's gone, sweet Jesus
And tomorrow may never be mine
Lord, help me today, show me the way
One day at a time


When the sun in the morning peeps over the hill
And kisses the roses on my windowsill
My heart leaps with gladness when I hear the shrill
Of the birds in the treetops on Mockingbird Hill
Try the laughter, you need it, it gives me a thrill
To wake up in the morning on Mockingbird Hill
Try the laughter you need it, it′s peace in that word
You′re as welcome as the flowers on Mockingbird Hill

The bills are all due
And my baby needs shoes and I'm busted
Cotton is down to a quarter of a pound
But I′m busted

I've got a cow that′s gone dry (ooh, ooh)
And a hen that won't lay (ooh)
(Ooh, ooh) a big stack of bills getting bigger each day
(Ooh, ooh, ooh) the county is gonna haul my belongings away
′Cause I'm busted (ooh, ooh, ooh)

Well, I called brother Bill to ask for a loan
'Cause I was busted
Now I hate to beg like a dog for a bone
But I′m busted

Now Bill said, there ain′t a thing I could do (ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, ooh) my wife and my kids are all down to the flu
(Ooh, ooh) and I was just thinking about calling on you
(Ooh) 'cause I′m busted
