Every day I write the list

Of reasons why I still believe they do exist

A thousand beautiful things

And even though it's hard to see

The glass is full and not half empty

A thousand beautiful things

So light me up like the sun

To cool down with your rain

I never want to close my eyes again

Never close my eyes

Never close my eyes



I thank you for the air to breathe

The heart to beat

The eyes to see again

A thousand beautiful things

And all the things that's been and done

The battle's won

The good and bad in everyone

This is mine to remember

So, here I go again

Singin' by your window

Pickin' up the pieces of what's left to find...



See the world in green and blue

See China right in front of you

See the canyons broken by cloud

See the tuna fleets clearing the sea out

See the Bedouin fires at night

See the oil fields at first light

And see the bird with a leaf in her mouth

After the flood all the colors came out



It's a beautiful day

Don't let it get away

A beautiful day



Touch me

Take me to that other place

Reach me

I know I'm not a hopeless case



What you don't have you don't need it now

What you don't know you can feel it somehow

What you don't have you don't need it now

Don't need it now

It's a beautiful day



Every day I write the list

Of reasons why I still believe they do exist

A thousand beautiful things
