Good Day
Ron Pope Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And you need some time to decide
Whether you're strong enough
Whether you should give up or try
When you stand on you're own
Here's hoping you'll find,
It's a good day, it's a good day to be alive
And you think that you might be lost
When you're feet start to run
And the shackles come off
Look around for the things you need
And you'll find them inside
It's a good day, it's a good day to be alive
It's a good day, it's a good day, it's a good day
I'm not living without hope
You can't tell me that i'm wrong,
Try to teach how to come back to my senses, cause I won't
I'm not living without hope
You can't tell me that I'm wrong
Trading places with the person that I thought I was before
You can't tell me that i'm wrong, just as long as I survive
Cause it's a good day to be alive
When you're out on you're own
And you need some time to decide
Whether you're strong enough
Whether you should give up or try
When you stand on you're own
Here's hoping you'll find,
It's a good day, it's a good day to be alive
I'm not living without hope
You can't tell me that i'm wrong,
Try to teach how to come back to my senses, cause I won't
I'm not living without hope
You can't tell me that I'm wrong
Trading places with the person that I thought I was before
You can't tell me that i'm wrong, just as long as I survive
Cause it's a good day to be alive
It's a good day to be alive
It's a good day to be alive
It's a good day to be alive
The lyrics to Ron Pope's song "Good Day" speak to the listener who is out on their own, trying to make important decisions about their life. The singer urges the listener to look inward when they feel lost, to find the strength they need to survive. The singer assures the listener that it's okay to make mistakes and to ask for help, but ultimately they must stand on their own two feet and make those tough choices. The chorus reminds us that, despite the struggles we may face, it's always a good day to be alive.
In the second verse, the singer acknowledges that even when it seems impossible, we must keep pushing forward. The image of shackles coming off suggests that fear and doubt may be holding us back. The singer encourages us to find the things we need inside ourselves, to trust in our own resilience. The repetition of the chorus emphasizes the positivity of the message.
The bridge reinforces the theme of hope and the importance of living each day to the fullest, with the assurance that as long as we survive, it's a good day. The final repetition of the chorus brings the song full circle, reminding us that even when we feel alone, we are never truly alone, and that every day is a new opportunity to make the most of our lives.
