Is it correct to say:

I'm feeling like the day I thought I could make great things happen.
Because I do.

"I do" referring to "make great things happen". I'm feeling this way again because now I realize I'm a person that does make great things happen.

It's for a song...

    It's correct, but it's not very clear. "Because I do" what? Feel like it? Think it? It would be much clearer if you wrote "Because I do make them happen."

  • By "the day" do you mean "today"?

  • You are feeling like a day? How is a person like a day? Are you 24 hours long, beginning and ending in darkness? Maybe you feel that it is the day.

It could be considered okay, but there might be better ways to say it (it sounds a little confusing, but then again, maybe for a song lyric that’s okay).

Other ways of saying it.

Because I can. (You know you can because you’ve already done it.)

Or:

Because I am (making great things happen).

I also feel there may be a bit of a discrepancy around feeling like the day you thought you could (tentative/uncertain) when in the present you actually are (or know you can) (absolute/declarative/certain).
