A New Day

Today is a new day
It's the beginning of my future
It's the start of a new me

No more looking "two-steps ahead"
I will follow the lamplight at my feet
Trusting He will guide me when I trust in Him

I woke up and stepped outside knowing it would be different today
No turning back
No questions asked

I have to leave my world behind
It is not my own
My comfort becomes my confusion

As I'm leaving

As I'm leaving
A change comes on my eyes
These streets persuading me
With mumbled strange goodbyes

Through the water
Through the rain
To the soul of everything
Throw my heart out on the stones
And I'm almost gone

There's no meaning
In clothes and coffee cups
Cheap hotel furniture
Where silence never stops

Through the water
Through the rain
To the soul of everything
Throw my memories to the wind
And I'm almost gone

And now I'm dreaming
I'm staring at the walls
Cars are frozen nowIn late night waterfalls

Through the water
Through the rain
To the soul of everything
Throw my heart out on the stones
And I'm almost

Through the water
Through the rain
To the soul of everything
Wash my heart out on the stones
And I'm almost gone
-David Gray

The sun shines for me today
It's going to be a new me
A me that is happy

I choose what my life becomes
Yesterday I said my final goodbye to the old me
No wedding bells or bliss

No kiss goodbye
Just how it was supposed to be
I walked away from you yesterday

No more letting him hold me down
I'm picking myself up off the ground
I'm throwing it all away for the final time

Goodbye broken love
Goodbye regret and dispair
Goodbye you

Underneath the mystery of the future is me
Unveil a new bride
Lily white and renew

  1. you and I are more alike than I ever realized... beautiful words that seem reminiscent of my own at times.
