The heart is a bloom, Shoots up through the stony ground But there's no room, No space to rent in this town
You thought you'd found a friend To take you out of this place Someone you can lend a hand In return for grace It's a beautiful day The sky falls And you feel like it's a beautiful day Don't let it get away
You're on the road But you've got no destination You're in the mud In the maze of her imagination
You love this town Even if it doesn't ring true You've been all over And it's been all over you
It's a beautiful day Don't let it get away It's a beautiful day
Touch me, Take me to that other place Teach me, I know I'm not a hopeless case
See the world in green and blue See China right in front of you See the canyons broken by cloud See the tuna fleets clearing the sea out See the bedouin fires at night See the oil fields at first light, and See the bird with the leaf in her mouth After the flood, all the colors came out
It was a beautiful day Don't let it get away Beautiful day
Touch me, take me to that other place Reach me, I know I'm not a hopeless case
What you don't have you don't need it now What you don't know you can feel it somehow What you don't have you don't need it now Don't need it now Was a beautiful day.
