I've spent most of my life as a luxury Now I've taken the role of necessity I was taking my time but a new day's come I've been waking up to a little more day I've been taking my walks with a little more sway I was taking my time but a new day's come Make way for a new day Make room for a child Make room for the sound of joy You're gonna hear it for awhile We're only here for a while We didn't make ourselves, can't make a single life We can only make love with all our might Then we can pass it along as the new day comes After yesterday We can live here together After yesterday In sunny and other weather We're closing in on forever Who'd have known a little boy Could teach me to believe in joy
