A Beautiful Day Lyrics - Testimony: Vol. 2, Love & Politics - India Arie

Life is a journey, 

Not a destination, 

There are no mistakes, 

Just chances we 've taken 

Lay down your regrets cause all we have is now 

Wake up in the morning 

And get out of bed 

Start making a mental list in my head 

Of all of the things that I am grateful for

Early in the morning 

It 's the dawn of a new day 

New hopes new dreams new ways 

I open up my eyes and 

I open up my mind and 

I wonder how life will surprise me today 

Early in the morning 

It 's the dawn of a new day 

New hopes new dreams new ways 

I open up my heart and 

I 'm gon ' do my part and 

Make this a positively beautiful day

Life is a challenge not a competition 

You can still smell the roses and be on a mission 

Just take a moment to get in touch with your heart 

Sometimes you feel like you 've got something to prove 

Remind yourself that there 's only one you 

Just take a moment to give thanks of who you are 

Early in the morning 

It 's the dawn of a new day 

New hopes, new dreams, new ways 

I open up my eyes and 

I open up my mind and 

I wonder how life will surprise me today 

Early in the morning 

It 's the dawn of a new day 

New hopes, new dreams, new ways 

I open up my heart and 

I 'm gon ' do my part and 

Make this a positively beautiful day 

La la la la la la la la la (x3) 

It 's a Beautiful Day (x2) 

Let 's make this a wonderful 

Let 's make this a powerful 

Let 's make this a Beautiful Day 

It 's a Beautiful Day 

Life is a journey, 

Not a destination, 

There are no mistakes, 

Just chances we 've taken 

Lay down your regrets cause all we have is now
