(spoken)NICOLENatalie, it's 6 in the morning, is everything ok?
ELENAEverything's great, why wouldn't it be great? It's great!
NICOLEHoney you need to slow down. Take some time for yourself.Breakfast’s nearly ready go call your father.
ELENAGreat, thanks, I’ll get right on that.
(sung)KathrynSo it's times like these I wonder how I take it,And if other families live the way we do.If they love each other or if they just fake it,And if other daughters feel like I feel too.Cause some days I think I'm dying,But I'm really only trying to get through
ELENAFor just another day, for another stolen hourWhen the world will fin’lly (finely) hear me, please I pray.
BOTHIt's just another day
ELENA OR KATHRYNFeeling like I’m screwed (STUCK) forever
ELENA OR KATHRYNFeeling destined to watch my dreams fade away
BOTHFor just another day.
DANNYWhen it's up to you to hold your house togetherA house you built with hard work and with claim - OR (blood, sweat, tears and brains)But you're grappling with that gray and rainy weatherAnd you're living on a latte and a name.
DANNY and NICOLECan you keep the cup from tippingCan you keep your grip from slipping in despair,For just another day
DANNY and KATHRYNIn the hustle and the hurry
DANNYYou want to wipe you worry clean away
ALLFor just another day.
NICOLEI will keep the plates all spinning
NICOLE and ELENAWith a smile so white and winning all the way
