The heart is a bloom,    Shoots up through the stony ground    But there's no room,    No space to rent in this town       You're out of luck    And the reason that you had to care,    The traffic is stuck    And you're not moving anywhere.       You thought you'd found a friend    To take you out of this place    Someone you can lend a hand    In return for grace    It's a beautiful day    The sky falls    And you feel like it's a beautiful day    Don't let it get away       You're on the road    But you've got no destination    You're in the mud    In the maze of her imagination       You love this town   Even if it doesn't ring true    You've been all over    And it's been all over you       It's a beautiful day    Don't let it get away    It's a beautiful day          Touch me, Take me to that other place    Teach me, I know I'm not a hopeless case       See the world in green and blue    See China right in front of you    See the canyons broken by cloud    See the tuna fleets clearing the sea out    See the bedouin fires at night    See the oil fields at first light, and    See the bird with the leaf in her mouth    After the flood, all the colors came out       It was a beautiful day    Don't let it get away    Beautiful day       Touch me, take me to that other place    Reach me, I know I'm not a hopeless case       What you don't have you don't need it now    What you don't know you can feel it somehow    What you don't have you don't need it now    Don't need it now    Was a beautiful day.
