Every New Day

This song has gotten me through a lot of rough times. Its by Five Iron Frenzy.

Every New Day

When I was young, the smallest trick of light,
Could catch my eye,
Then life, was new and every new day,
I thought that I could fly.
I believed in what I hoped for,
And I hoped in things unseen,
I had wings and dreams could soar,
I just don't feel like flying anymore.
When the stars threw down their spears,
Watered Heaven with their tears,
Before words were spoken,
Before eternity.

(Chorus)
Dear Father, I need you,
Your strength my heart to mend.
I want to fly higher,
Every New Day again.

When I was young the furthest I could reach,
Was not so high,
Then I thought the world was so much smaller,
Feeling that I could fly.
Through distant deeps and skies,
Behind infinity,
Below the face of Heaven,
He stoops to create me.

Dear Father, I need you,
Your strength my heart to mend,
I want to fly higher,
Every New Day again

{In the live version, Reese sings, "You are not alone. You are not alone. You are not alone. You were never alone." Then comes the bridge.}

(Bridge)

Man versus himself.
Man versus machine.
Man versus the world.
Mankind versus me.
The Struggle goes on,
The wisdom I lack,
The burdens keep piling,
Up on my back,
So hard to breathe,
To take the next step,
The mountain is high,

I wait in the depths,
Yearning for grace,
And hoping for peace,
Dear God.....INCREASE!
Healing hands of God
Have mercy on our unclean souls once again,
Jesus Christ,
Light of the world burning bright,
Within our hearts forever,
Freedom, means love without condition
Without a beginning or an end,
Here's my heart,
Let it be forever Yours,
Only You can make
Every New Day seem so new.


That song has gotten me through so much. The live version on The End is Here is the most powerful song I've ever heard before. I've tried to make that my motto for every day.
