Verse 1
I guess I must've got up on the right side of the bed
Cause some days just don't go that well but today was great instead
The sun came up, the world turned round, the rain fell perfectly
And I found a thousand reasons to be happy as could be...yes,

Chorus 1
A thousand things went right today and I'm hear to tell
For everything that's going wrong ten more are going well
Yes, life has little speed bumps, it's detours and its sorrows
But a thousand things went right today...and will again tomorrow

Verse 2
I guess until today I'd missed what always has always true
How I seldom let what's going right improve my point of view
But when a tire on your car goes flat it's sometimes hard to see
Just how very well it's going with the other three

Chorus 2
A thousand things went right today and yesterday did too
The fish were biting, birds were singing, flowers were in bloom
Sometimes it seems like happiness can not be bought or borrowed
But a thousand things went right today and will again tomorrow

Bridge
Oh, counting up your blessings doesn't take that much attention
And once you start there'll always be too many there to mention

Chorus 3
A thousand things went right today and then a thousand more
Cause once I chose to let them in they crowded through the door
So when I need to find a smile don't have to look that far...oh
A thousand things went right today and will again tomorrow

Chorus 4
Yes...A thousand things went right today and it seems to me
That everyday I/we have the right to choose the world I/we see
Yes, life has little speed bumps, it's detours and it's sorrows
But a thousand things went right today...and will again tomorrow
