Daybreak
A lovely morning
A chance for heaven
Like the dawn of time
But no
When my eyes open
I see a mountain
I see a long uphill climb
And even though I know
It all begins by letting go
Still I resist
Still I resist
Must be crazy
Think I'm Joe Frazier
Fighting each moment
As if I could win
Big surprise
Where does it get me
Same old frustration
Same old place I've always been
In books of truth I read
What life brings is what I need
Still I resist
Still I resist
Ooh what I've missed
The wind moves
The night air
The leaves fall
They don't care why
I feel that
I get it
So why don't
I let it fly - fly
But me
I got opinions
I got to nail it
Nail it all down
It's no good
It's like nailing down water
Life is a liquid
Rolling through town
Through town
I'm just a frightened boy
And when it's time to take my joy
Still I resist
Still I resist
Ooh what I've missed
The wind moves
The night air
The leaves fall
They don't care why
But I care why
I care
I know that
I get it
It's so hard
To let it fly
And let it go by
Yeah me
And all those brilliant opinions
Always having to nail it
Nail every damn thing down
It's no good
Wanna put down this hammer
Love is a liquid
And I wanna drown
Ooh please
Let me exhale now
And if I fail now
At least I'll know I tried
I tried
I tried
