New Day Rising
Born again and weak no longer
what doesn't kill me makes me stronger
not ready to accept the crushing blows
embrace the highs
defeat the lows
live each day as if it were the last
look to the future
respect the past
love your family remember your friends
for what if tomorrow were to be the end
if it's meant to be it's meant to be
you cannot change your destiny
I look you in the eyes and say
I'm glad to be alive today
to see the sky so blue and clear
to see the stars to far and near
to see the world in all its glory
to relax and read a bedtime story
to see the sights of old London towne
to find a smile amongst the frowns
to hear a bird sing in the tree
to know that I am finally free
a winter frost a grass so green
and all of life crammed inbetween
a newborn baby's tiny cries
a chinese whisper
a lovers sighs
a world of wonders old and new
but most of all a life with you
