There's a cloud

There's a cloud

A blue sky darkening

That veils the light of the sun

And foretells the rain

But there's a bird

There are birds

And some are singing



To great every new day that may come

Like the first of spring



It is cold

It is cold

I've had the feeling

At the heart and in the core

The root of all things

But there's a bud there's a bulb

It will be blooming



To greet every new day that may come

Like the first of spring



It is late

It is late

As I watch waiting

It will go come turn away

The cycle cycling

There's a face with new eyes

A baby crying



Who'll greet every new day that may come

Like the first of spring

Like the first of spring
