Beautiful Day

The heart is a bloom, shoots up through the stony ground But there's no room, no space to rent in this town You're out of luck, and the reason that you had to care The traffic is stuck, and you're not moving anywhere You thought you'd found a friend, to take you out of this place Someone you could 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 that 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 a 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 It was a beautiful day
