A New Day

(album: Ollie Ollie Oxen Free - 2021)

I've been living my whole life through
Contemplating, resonating, searching for a clue yeah
I'm just trying to make it through
But what you gonna, what you gonna, what you gonna do?
Singing

I've been living my whole life through
Contemplating, celebrating, speaking too soon
I'm just trying to make it through
What more can I say
All I know is it's a new day

There've been up's, there've been downs
Matter of fact there'll be moments that you'll never get back
But as time it goes by
At least you can't look back and say you did not try
And some days you'll let go
People look you in the face
But they just don't know
And you shy away
Shake it up and make a move
What I'm trying to say is

I've been living my whole life through
Contemplating, resonating, searching for a clue yeah
I'm just trying to make it through
What more can I say
All I know is it's a new

A new run, a new day
A new perspective, keep it coming just stay out of my way
A few hits, a few burns
If it wasn't for the madness don't think that I'd ever learn
Just relax you say
It gets harder and harder with each and every passing wave
And some days you let go
People look you in the face but man they just don't know

And this too shall pass
It's always one step forward and ten steps back

I've been living my whole life through
Contemplating, resonating, searching for a clue yeah
I'm just trying to make it through
But what you gonna, what you gonna, what you gonna do?
Singing

I've been living my whole life through
Contemplating, celebrating, speaking too soon
I'm just trying to make it through
What more can I say
All I know is it's a new day

And the road it wears thin
Always catching up before you begin

I've been living my whole life through
Contemplating, resonating, searching for a clue yeah
I'm just trying to make it through
But what you gonna, what you gonna, what you gonna do?
Singing

I've been living my whole life through
Contemplating, celebrating, speaking too soon
I'm just trying to make it through
What more can I say
All I know is it's a new day
