It's a New Day
Yesterday is now gone/
The past is where it belongs/
Back in the past !
It's a brand new day/
Oft' I feel as though I'm lying out on a raft ?
At first I'm near the coast/ Just relaxing !
Yet when the devil brings up your past,
You should remind him of his fatal future !
Still a bit sleepy/
Out listening to sounds of people very near,
The next thing I knew I began to doze/
I'm all alone a mile out in the ocean,
Such as the case is in life/
At first/
Sin looks very appealing !
The humble look then next the enticement !
Next thing you know your hooked,
Along with their two best friends !
Being line and sinker,
Just look in the museum;
Of that sculpture of the thinker !
Time may heal all wounds,
But still hidden scars still remain,
Not having you in my arms is driving me insane !
New Englend may be crowded,
Yet it still is naked spiritually/
With folks having long fangs for teeth,
Many will hide in their tiny little hole/
Not to be exposed by the light,
At times you may feel you had failed ?
Some even had encountered a humble defeat/
Yet try to be happy in God,
Thank the Lord that you still have shoes on your feet !
Still we only get one chance at life/
Amidst the inner turmoil, envy and strife/
Forget about looking back for a brand new wife,
Be totally content in what you have/
It's a new day so all be glad !
Just to be yourself is totally rad !
