There's a New Day Calling for You

I don't post much with song titles or lyrics anymore. I consider it getting myself past childish notions, I suppose, or romantic ideals. But today these lyrics are constant. So I thought I'd share.

Sway your head move your feet wake yourself from the sleep
If there's a day there's a way you can get yourself there
Golden smile you've got style that they can't take away
Scream and shout get it out before it swallows you
No surprise in these times how it really comes through
All the walks and the thoughts but can you break through?

I always need a day. If something happens that shakes me, that hurts me, that blindsides me or wreaks havoc on my hopes, I need a day to wrap my head around it. That's the day when you can't give me logic, or tell me to keep my chin up. I need that grey day.

You're alive.
So alive.
Now c'mon
You gotta pull yourself back together
Give it one more shot it's now or never
There's a new day calling for you
You gotta believe

What other option is there but to keep going? I mourn a bit, but then I must pull it all back together. So I get up, and I make the sweet vanilla polenta for breakfast, and I tie on the running shoes and throw on the Villa jersey and I give it another go.

Build a plan yes you can you've got nothing to lose
Look around up and down you've gotta choose
Can't you see the sunrise that came up for you?

There's nothing left for me to lose. So why not aim as high as I can? Why have I been looking backwards, considering jobs that I clearly did not want to be my career? Why have I been seeking out Tacoma when all along this has been about loving Seattle, loving being an urbanite? Let's look forward. New loves. A new day, a new plan.

You're alive.
So alive.
Now c'mon
You gotta pull yourself back together
Give it one more shot it's now or never
With a new day calling for you
You gotta believe
You gotta throw yourself back in the water
Take in one deep breath, you're getting closer
After all you taught and seen
You gotta believe
