It wasn't in her five year plan
To have a baby with a man
That couldn't be there-the day she had her

The sun was shining through the curtain
Hope was here when all the hurting
And the baby cried

And the leaves turned
No one called from the Whitehouse to say
The president's making this a holiday

And people still riding in the subway-all alone-oh,
yeah It didn't stop anybody's big league game
Or sinners from falling on their knees to pray

The traffic is still moving real slow all over L.A.
Yes for the rest of the world-oh, yeah It was just another day
It was just another day, oh yeah

The other car was going 84 miles an hour just before
The rain stopped on the black top
The driver in the ambulance said no one really had a chance

But the small one in the back seat
And no one called from the Whitehouse to say
The president's making this a holiday

And people still riding on the subway-all alone-oh, yeah
It didn't stop anybody's big league game
Or sinners falling on their knees to pray

The traffic is still moving real slow all over L.A.
Yes for the rest of the world-oh,
yeah It was just another day It was just another day, oh yeah

This morning I came across-a photograph I thought I'd lost
And for the first time-I didn't want to cry
Staring in my parents eyes It hit me all at once that I'll be OK

Cause it's a new day
No one called from the Whitehouse to say
The president's making this a holiday

And people still riding on the subway-all alone-oh,
yeah It didn't stop anybody's big league game
Or sinners falling on their knees to pray

And traffic is still moving real slow all over L.A.
For the rest of the world Yeah,
I said And for the rest of the world-mmm,

mmm It was just another day,
oh yeah It was just another day
(repeat)
