Inspired by lyrics from \\u201cTakin\\u2019 Back My Day\\u201d by JD Martin, Jan Garrett, and Richard Mekdeci:

It\\u2019s a beautiful start to a brand new morning. Then, out of the blue, without warning, I let a little thing like a gnat in my tea steal away my sanity. In the midst of it all, when I stumble and fall, I know I\\u2019m gonna be ok. I\\u2019d start to feel the beat, I get back on my feet, and I dance away, takin\\u2019 back my day! . . . Standin\\u2019 in my shoes, I know what to do\\u2014takin\\u2019 back my day!

Just a slight adjustment, is really all it takes. See the great big picture, \\u2018stead of all the mistakes. Oh, I just smile at the things on my list\\u2014can\\u2019t stay inside on a day like this.

In the midst of it all, when I stumble and fall, I know I\\u2019m gonna be okay, I start to feel the beat, I get back on my feet, and I dance away, takin\\u2019 back my day! \\u2026 Takin\\u2019 back my day, standin\\u2019 in my shoes, I got the right moves, takin\\u2019 back my day.

There\\u2019s a blue sky over my head. I got a spring in my step. You can bet the best is just a breath away, Takin back my day! Dancin\\u2019 in my shoes, I got the right moves\\u2014takin\\u2019 back my day!
