Analysis of It Can Make The Day 7



When you see your friend
Succeed in what he's doing
It can make the day

When you make a deal
Which is clearly a bargain
It can make the day

When you overcome
Obstacles to your progress
It can make the day

When you find evil
Rooted out and defeated
It can make the day

When you vote for one
Elected to the office
It can make the day
