I Need a New Day

I Need A New Day

If I seem strange today,

If I've caused you distress,

Please understand

I don't love you the less.

I'm not gonna leave you,

I'm not going away;

But there are times in one's life

When one needs a new day.

Sunlight dies,
Color fades,
Life is seen through slate-gray shades---
I woke up and lost my way.
I need a new day.

I need a new day
So I can thrive again
And all the good things can come alive again.
I need a new day.

Eyelids fall,
Legs are numb,
Words are there, but thoughts won't come---
Cannot work and cannot play,
I need a new day.

I need a new day
So I can thrive again
And all the good things can come alive again.
I need a new day.

Barren skies,
Barren seas,
Plastic fruit and cardboard trees,
Flocks of sparrows made of clay---
I need a new day.

I need a new day
So I can thrive again
And all the good things can come alive again.
I need a new day.
