VERSE 1
They say the way to accept
Is to live with no regrets
To know your limits
But give everything you got within ’em
What’cha gotta do is focus on you
and let yourself feel all your real
Take time off to take care, and to heal
CHORUS 1
‘Coz it’s a good day to walk the dog
Yeah it’s a good day to go and learn about self-love
Oh it’s a good day to reach out for help
To prioritize yourself
Yeah it’s a good day to know
You don’t have to go… alone
VERSE 2
So when that power dynamic starts to play in
That’s the time for self care to begin
First take hold of yourself
Before you hold for anyone else
Choose to be here — don’t choose the fear
CHORUS 2
It’s a good day to brush your teeth
A good day to get a good day’s sleep
It’s okay not to know
Just be sure to wear some clothes
It’s a good day to know
You don’t have to go… alone
BRIDGE
I know sometimes I get defensive
But my…sanity’s expensive
I can’t pay for the price of me to feel first for you
I am me — I am my own
And it’s okay if I rock the boat
Choose a different path than you
So no more fearing of disappointing
Or meeting your expectations
It’s all stress and mind-mess
Filling me with hesitations
I’m not here to appease you
I won’t follow right on cue
I can’t afford to put me after
I am worth it and I matter
CHORUS 3
That’s why it’s a good day to choose myself
Make sure I prioritize my health
It’s a good day for a good cry
To know all the reasons why
I don’t have to go… alone
You don’t have to go… alone
We don’t have to go… alone
ENDING CHORUS
OH it’s a good day to reach out
After all that’s what community’s all about
See each other as whole people
‘Cause empathy is crucial
If we listen and understand
Take each other by the hand
Then it’s a good day… Yeah it’s a good, good day
