Day By Day - Andrew Peterson

Well, we took a train to kensington

And listened to the children run

Just beyond the garden gate

Where peter and wendy played

There was a sign that said we weren’t allowed

To duck inside and join the crowd

Without a son or daughter’s hand

To lead us into neverland

And it hurt so bad

But it’s so good to be young

And I don’t want to go back

I just want to go on and on and on

Day by day, day by day

And everybody’s so surprised

When right before your very eyes

Your baby’s in the second grade

You blink and it’s her wedding day

And we just can’t get used to being here

Where the ticking clock is loud and clear

Children of eternity

On the run from entropy

And it hurts so bad

But it’s so good to be young

And I don’t want to go back

I just want to go on and on and on

Day by day, day by day

So don’t lose heart

Though your body’s wasting away

Your soul is not

It’s being remade

Day by day by day

Well, you have never met a single soul

Who didn’t feel the curse’s toll

Who didn’t wish that death would die

Maybe that’s the reason why

And it hurts so bad

But it’s so good to be young

And I don’t want to go back

I just want to go on and on and on

So don’t lose heart

Though your body’s wasting away

Your soul is not

It’s being remade

So don’t lose heart

Don’t lose heart

Your body will rise and never decay

Day by day by day
