Twenty-four hours in a day is all I have.
Twenty-four hours in a day.
Today is all that I’ve been given.
Today is the day that I am living!
Twenty-four hours is a gift that’s mine to live.
I woke up this morning and the first thing I noticed:
I’ve got a fresh start and I will stay focused.
Here and now, in this day I’m clean.
Gonna’ use this second chance to be all I can be!
Sometimes I’m scared and I’m feeling alone.
Afraid to move on and I can’t go back home.
I need a friend, one who knows my pain.
I’ve got a super sponsor so I’ll call her again!
HP and me as a team it’s better:
facing each challenge - always together!
Looking back so I won’t forget,
but not getting stuck in the pain of regret!
HP and me, yes with help I’m reaching
out with the hope that HP has been teaching.
Making plans for a future I see,
but living in the NOW where I can succeed!
Twenty-four hours in a day is all I have.
Twenty-four hours in a day.
Today is all that I’ve been given.
Today is the day that I am living!
Twenty-four hours is a gift.
Twenty-four hours is a gift!
Twenty-four hours is a gift that’s mine to give!
