A NEW BENIFIT FOR A NEW DAY WHICH CASTS A SMILE
AS THERE IS A NEW SUN EVERYDAY WITH A NEW SHINE
IT BRIGHTENS AND FRIGHTENS MY SORROW
THAT BEFRIENDED ME UNTIL I TURNED AWAY
HOW SHOULD I RETURN THIS FAVOR TO THEE
AS IT BECOMES MY TIDES IN MY SEAS
TO A NEW DAY WITH MORE BELIEF
THAT SPIRIT THAT RISES TO COMFORT MORE RELIEF
I SHALL BE HER LOGIC WHEN SHE HAS NONE
AS SHE IS MY RUNNING MATE INSIDE MY THOUGHTS
I SHALL FOLLOW HER AROUND HER DEPTHS
AS SHE KEEPS IN GLEE AND IN DISPOSED
BUT THAT IS TO WHAT WE ALL THINK PLEASURE
TAKING MEASURE AFTER MEASURE
A NEW LEAF FALLS FROM MY SKIES
AND I THINK ABOUT THE ANTI-BITTER
I DONT SPIT ON THESE GROUNDS THAT CHERISH ME
AS I WILL CHERISH THEE WHO SETTLES ME DOWN
THIS PILLARS MY HILLS AND SALVAGES MY WEAKNESS
TO THROW IT ALL DOWN A DRAIN OF DISCOMFORT
I HOPE SHE HAS FOUND MORE THAN SHE WANTED
THE GUTTER YEARS THAT ARE ALWAYS FLAUNTED
AS A NEW DAY COMES FORWARD TO BRING A SMILE
TO MANY FACES IN A TRACE OF POSITIVE EMOTION
