You are the New Day

The King Singers was established in 1968 by 6 choral scholars at King's College in Cambridge England. This group became popular in the mid 1970's and has been growing strong ever since. They now perform over 160 concerts a year in various places all over the world. I first discovered this song when So. Sevier High School's Women Choir performed it. I naturally looked it up online as soon as I could.

This song inspires me to be a better me. To remember that everyday is a new chance to make something great of myself. I can only hope that it brings the same kind of comfort to you that it has to me on so many occasions.

Like all good songs this song also ends on the best possible note. My favorite part is the last verse that reads: "Hope is my philosophy Just needs days in which to be Love of life means hope for me borne on a new day." Hope is my philosophy and just like Sally from the Peanuts Gang i'm going to sing it at the top of my lungs!

Here are the lyrics:

I will love you more than me
and more than yesterday
If you can but prove to me
you are the new day

Send the sun in time for dawn
Let the birds all hail the morning
Love of life will urge me say
you are the new day

When I lay me down at night
knowing we must pay
Thoughts occur that this night might
stay yesterday

Thoughts that we as humans small
could slow worlds and end it all
lie around me where they fall
before the new day

One more day when time is running out
for everyone
Like a breath I knew would come I reach for
the new day

Hope is my philosophy
Just needs days in which to be
Love of life means hope for me
borne on a new day

You are the new day
