sung a capella)



I will love you more than me

and more than yesterday

If you can but prove to me

you are the new day



Send the sun in time for dawn

Let the birds all hail the morning

Love of life will urge me say

you are the new day



When I lay me down at night

knowing we must pay

Thoughts occur that this night might

stay yesterday



Thoughts that we as humans small

could slow worlds and end it all

lie around me where they fall

before the new day



One more day when time is running out

for everyone

Like a breath I knew would come I reach for

the new day



Hope is my philosophy

Just needs days in which to be

Love of life means hope for me

borne on a new day



You are the new day
