The heart is a bloom Shoots up through the stony ground Theres no room No space to rent in this town
Youre out of luck And the reason that you had to care The traffic is stuck And youre not moving anywhere
You thought youd found a friend To take you out of this place Someone you could lend a hand In return for grace
Its a beautiful day Sky falls, you feel like Its a beautiful day Dont let it get away
Youre on the road But youve got no destination Youre in the mud In the maze of her imagination
You love this town Even if that doesnt ring true Youve been all over And its been all over you
Its a beautiful day Dont let it get away Its a beautiful day
Touch me Take me to that other place Teach me I know Im 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 a leaf in her mouth
After the flood all the colors came out
It was a beautiful day Dont let it get away Beautiful day
Touch me Take me to that other place Reach me I know Im not a hopeless case
What you dont have you dont need it now What you dont know you can feel it somehow What you dont have you dont need it now Dont need it now Was a beautiful day
