It’s a New Day, by John Kendell Graham
We have traveled further and further still to go my friends
Faces and Places floating in the void of Eternity
I remember when I was younger
I was the son
Who wanted to fly to the sun
My desire brought me to the realization
That I was a Son no more
That I’m a person
Like you
Alone
On this New Day
It’s a New Day
And the feeling of expectation
Memories of past experiences
So far behind me
Are just like a dream
Was it just a dream that brought me here
To this place?
I’m searching for the answers to my mystery
And the question I ask of you
Is to tell me what you see when you look into my eyes
Do you see what I feel?
Do you see what I feel?
The chord sounds a new sound
An old sound
Finding out
Learning to undo the need to hide
To seek shelter from the storm inside of me
Wherever I run the feeling stays with me
Wherever I run from the storm inside of me
To seek shelter
The need to hide
Learning to undo
Finding out an old sound in a new sound
The Chord sounds
And the Drum sounds
The human heart starts to pound
Pound, pound the new sound
An old sound
Finding out
Learning to pump the blood through the body
That’s what the heart is there to do
To pump the blood through the body
To feed the brains with the energy
With the Fire
Metaphorically speaking
The desire which takes you through the fear of the storm on the inside
The storm on the inside
Jealousy
Envy
Hate
Wanting always to be right, right, right, right
Frightened to make a mistake
A Mistake
Oh the wonder of it
Oh The beauty of it
To make mistakes
Finding out
Learning to undo the need to hide
To seek shelter from the storm inside of me
The storm inside of me
That storm stays inside of me wherever I run
The feeling stays with me
The Disease has begun in me
The fear of words
The search for approval
Takes you down the Yellow Brick road
Some of us ride down that road
Like Mad Toad
On his Mad Ride in his automobile
Driving the technology he’s pursuing
Down the Yellow Brick Road
Now off to the side of the Yellow Brick Road
There are poppy fields
Where you can do different dreaming
Than the pot of gold at the end of the Rainbow
At the end of the Yellow Brick Road there’s gold
“Go for Gold”
“Go for Gold”
Get the Approval
“Go for Gold”
And you’ll be a Trophy on someone else’s Mantle Piece
It’s love over Gold
Dire Straits told you that
It’s love over Gold
And we’ll stay in dire straits
If we don’t remember that
It’s love over gold
And go through the gold to the green
Go into the Poppy Fields off the side of the Yellow Brick Road
Cause there’s Blood on the Tracks
In the Poppy Fields you can dream
You can dream of Peaches and Cream
You can dream in the Poppy Fields
What are you going to dream about?
It might be what it’s all about
What are you going to dream about?
Dream to change the way you feel
Dream to change the way you feel
What happens when the feelings you’d like to have
Have run away from you
Left you behind
Left you blue
Blue on the inside
Feeling so sad
About the feelings that are bad, bad, bad
I’m blue on the inside
About not being true
Not being true
Makes me feel sad
On the inside
That feeling stays with me until I choose to change
Until I choose to dissolve the pain
On this New Day
On this New Day
