lyrics

Ever have a day when nothing goes your way?
Wake up mad with nothing good to say?
Mom says "Do your homework, and turn off that game!"
And everything around you seems boring and lame

You're not really sure why you feel this way
It just seemed to start at the break of day
You know getting mad isn't good for you
So you start to think about things you can do

You take deep breaths and let them out slow
In and out, let that anger go
Listen to some music, take a nice long walk
Find someone you love and take the time to talk

My game has reached the highest level yet
Ten more minutes and I'd be set
Then Dad comes by and shuts off the screen
Why is he acting so strict and mean?

You're not really sure why you feel this way
It just seemed to start at the break of day
You know getting mad isn't good for you
So you start to think about things you can do

I'm supposed to brush my teeth, I'm supposed to make my bed
And the garbage goes out when the dog's been fed
My room is a mess. It never looks clean!
But Mom says "Tidy up!" Now she sounds mean!

You're not really sure why you feel this way
It just seemed to start at the break of day
You know getting mad isn't good for you
So you start to think about things you can do

Just because you're mad doesn't mean you're bad
People can be angry especially when they're sad
Taking deep breaths can help you find new ways to
Chase those morning blues away

I'm not really sure why I feel this way
It just seemed to start at the break of day
They say getting mad isn't good for you
So I start to think about things I can do

I take deep breaths and let them out slow
In and out, let that anger go
Listen to some music, take a nice long walk
Find someone I love and take the time to talk

You're not really sure why you feel this way
It just seemed to start at the break of day
You know getting mad isn't good for you
So now you know some things you can do!
