Lyrics
TITLE: Brand New Day
VERSE:
Keep that lip buttoned, got a chance to start again
It's gonna be a brand new day
Don't lose sight of the mess, control yourself, don't show yourself
Watch the things you say
Turn the other cheek and walk away
Bring the mountain over here, make the horse drink
It's easy as pie
Put on wings of wax, throw yourself off the highest tree
Watch the world go by
It's gonna be a brand new day
BRIDGE:
Tread so lightly, momentum will carry you
CHORUS:
Bam! You hit the wall again
These big feet should kick it down
These big hands should tear it down
If it weren't for this
Toe-Size jamb, Knee-sized lift, Man-Sized Fence, Hill-sized wall
I'd be okay
VERSE:
Shocked by own brilliance hope no one knows the truth get out of my way
Leaning forward going faster got new shows on
Fresh clean slate
Happy as can be and looking great
BRIDGE:
Walking on air, I am flying on gossamer . . .
CHORUS:
Bam! the bloody wall again
These big hands should pound a hole
Like hammers, should knock a hole
But instead I'm panning for gold,
Dig that ditch, Throw that rock, spike that rail
Every damn day
