The New Day
Date: 10/04/1990
Standing on a cliff at the edge of dawnTrying to catch the wind but it's already gone away
Stand up tall, and open your eyes
Spread your arms and embrace the glory of the sunrise
Don't look back at what has passed
Look ahead, instead, to the new day
Feel the warmth of the morning sun
Yesterday is gone and today has begun
Maybe someday you will awakeDon't forget the times you've had
To find the Queen of Hearts beside you
But until that day, the King of Pain
The King of Pain will remain inside you
Live along with others
Call them all your brothers
Waiting for the sun to fall from the sky
Remember all the good and bad
Standing on a cliff in the evening light
Running to hide from the shadows of the night
Darkness falls across the sky
Stars come out to kiss the sun goodnight
Emptiness around you
Emptiness surrounds you
Empty spaces fill the holes in your heart
Feel the cold of the barren night
No one else in sight of the pale moonlight
Maybe someday you will awakeLearn from all your past mistakes
To find the Queen of Hearts beside you
But until that day, the King of Pain
The King of Pain will remain inside you
Live along with others
Call them all your brothers
Waiting for the sun to fall from the sky
'Cuz this is all it really takes
