A New Day Has Begun

Abandon your traditions
Watch them disappear one by one
And follow their direction
Between the moon and the sun

A new day has begun

Abandon your possessions
Watch them disappear one by one
Follow their direction
Between the bones and the trees and the moon and the sun

A new day has begun

I remember the day I heard it
The Impossible Song and the other songs
The tiny detail of every day
And nothing more to give away
And I trust my expectations
'Cause like good songs, they can always be sung
To the tune of another song

Abandon your ambitions
You're overwhelmed by what you haven't done
And it doesn't last for ever
Not even the moon and the sun

A new day has begun

Forget all those promises
That only fools remember
And you'll be dazzled by the dark
Troubled by the stars
Short on regret
Burnt by the sun

A new day has begun

I woke up early this morning
And the birds were singing their impossible songs
They have that notion every day
With plenty more than I can say
And I trust their expectations
And like good songs, they can always be sung
To the tune of another song
