I'm running late
I didn't sleep
The weather's foul
The trains on strike.
The roads are clogged
The car won't start.
I drank too much
We had a row
I made a mess
Forgot some stuff I should have done.
But no bombs fell on us today
Our home is safe
We'll get to eat.
No sniper aimed a gun at me
My children all came home they're safe.
Our buildings stand.
We have no war.
Our minor problems hold no sway
For us today's our lucky day.
