she peers through the mist
of her crystal ball
while the truth reflects, silent
framed on the wall
oh well, it's a new day after all

the relentless ticking
won't help her understand
why she can't stop time
by holding back the hands

it's spring outside and one by one
little arms reach for the sun
the seed of life takes root
a subtle change of form
they'll be there long after she's gone

hey hey hey, hey hey hey, they call
hey hey hey, hey hey hey
it's a new day after all

her babe in arms but now the time nears
when adolescence spreads its wings
it's solitude she fears
try as might
she can't hold back the years

the boy lies restless in his room
excitement flickers in the brightening gloom
a red stain creeps across the sky
made his plan and come what may
he's gonna see it through today

hey hey hey, hey hey hey, they call
hey hey hey, hey hey hey
it's a new day after all
hey hey hey, hey hey hey, they call

rushes out to greet the dawn
oh well, its a new day after all

we gaze at the stars at night
and they seem to wisper back, its alright
they disappear in the morn
but they'll be there long after we've gone
