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
