A Brand New Day

The years are piling up you see all the days seem the same to me. Moneys short the bills are high my health is on a downward slide. The hairs gone grey and my eyes can see that my lifetime clocks running out on me. Take some tablets, gassed in my car make a noose and just hang around. I just can't think of a reason to stick around. And then the phone rings,and rings again it's the girl I love shes ringing me. She makes a joke and raises a smile and sets a date for us to hang out a while. The email pings my mates asking me to go jet away. The suns shining bright and a stray ray of light catches a picture hanging on the wall of those I hold within my heart. You know, I think i'll stay one more day and see what comes my way well it is a brand new day.
