Daybreak
|
A lovely morning
|
A chance for heaven
|
Like the dawn of time
|
But no
|
When my eyes open
|
I see a mountain
|
I see a long uphill climb
|
And even though I know
|
It all begins by letting go
|
Still I resist
|
Still I resist
|
Must be crazy
|
Think I'm Joe Frazier
|
Fighting each moment
|
As if I could win
|
Big surprise
|
Where does it get me
|
Same old frustration
|
Same old place I've always been
|
In books of truth I read
|
What life brings is what I need
|
Still I resist
|
Still I resist
|
Ooh what I've missed
|
The wind moves
|
The night air
|
The leaves fall
|
They don't care why
|
I feel that
|
I get it
|
So why don't
|
I let it fly - fly
|
But me
|
I got opinions
|
I got to nail it
|
Nail it all down
|
It's no good
|
It's like nailing down water
|
Life is a liquid
|
Rolling through town
|
Through town
|
I'm just a frightened boy
|
And when it's time to take my joy
|
Still I resist
|
Still I resist
|
Ooh what I've missed
|
The wind moves
|
The night air
|
The leaves fall
|
They don't care why
|
But I care why
|
I care
|
I know that
|
I get it
|
It's so hard
|
To let it fly
|
And let it go by
|
Yeah me
|
And all those brilliant opinions
|
Always having to nail it
|
Nail every damn thing down
|
It's no good
|
Wanna put down this hammer
|
Love is a liquid
|
And I wanna drown
|
Ooh please
|
Let me exhale now
|
And if I fail now
|
At least I'll know I tried
|
I tried
|
I tried
|
|
