At the end of the day
I don’t want to say three words —
“Coulda, woulda, shoulda.”
I want to be able to say,
“I gave it my best!”

I didn’t stop when I didn’t feel like going on,
I didn’t stop when I didn’t get it on the first try.
I didn’t stop when the going got kind of rough,
I didn’t stop, I stuck it out,

Yes, I hung in there and I didn’t give up,
Because I knew I could do it if I tried long enough,
And because... ‘cause at the end of the day...

I didn’t stop when I couldn’t learn to swim in the pool,.....

.....

Yes, I hung in there and I didn’t give up,
Because I knew I could do it if I tried long enough,
And because... ‘cause at the end of the day...

Step by step, little by little,
I’ll get to the end, I won’t stop in the middle......

.....

And if something stopped me today,
Tomorrow is another day.
I’ll try something new,
I’ll find another way. ‘Cause...
At the end of the day…

This song is available on "Rock Solid Kids."
