The heart is a bloom   Shoots up through the stony ground   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 could lend a hand   In return for grace      It's a beautiful day   Sky falls, 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 a maze of her imagination      You love this town   Even if that 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 love   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 a 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   It was a beautiful day
