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 let 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 when 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 a new day

Hope is my philosophy
Just needs days in which to be
Love of life means hope for me
Born on the new day

You are the new day
