NEWDAY Written by Sara So Far
The leaves, I know I saw them crying
The trees, altogether sighing
And the ground breathed its last
after swallowing our past
On the day of your depart
I didn’t have the heart
To say the words lying on my tongue
to burst into a song about the place where you belong
Now it hurts to know that I was wrong
with blind eyes all along
I must keep holding on
to the knowledge that the sun is rising behind my back
My hands, I know I felt them trembling
my back, aching as it’s bending
And the twilight disappears
as an answer to my fears
Kills the hope without a sound
If I’d only turn around
To see a new day dawning
the trees together yawning
They urge me to awake
say the future is at stake
I hear a voice say ‘darling,
keep your heart from hardening
See the view that I can make,
the light is yours to take’
and I turned around and saw the sun rising behind my back
