Sunrise

The sky’s a bloodshot pink

Everything is gonna change

Blackbirds are ready to sing

Everything is gonna change

I thought I could write the future

Of course I was wrong

Life’s not like a song

It never stays the same

And everything is gonna change

We were never the early birds

To fly out of bed singing

We were never the very first

To hear the bells ringing

But now we’re standing here watching with our own eyes

The sunrise

The horizon you had in mind

When you and the boys were toasting

In the school yard in ’99

Was a salute to this very morning

As we’re standing here waiting for the light

The sunrise

And everything is gonna change

It’s a new light, a new day

Everything is gonna change

There’s a promise up in the air

Through curtains in every window

As faces everywhere

Begin to light up yellow

And we’re standing here watching with our own eyes

The sunrise

And everything is gonna change

It’s a new light, a new day

Everything is gonna change

Everything is gonna change
