The heart is a bloom
Shoots up through the stony ground
There's no room
No space to rent in this townYou're out of luck
And the reason that you had to care
The traffic is stuck
And you're not moving anywhereYou thought you'd found a friend
To take you out of this place
Someone you could lend a hand
In return for graceIt's a beautiful day
Sky falls, you feel like
It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get awayYou're on the road
But you've got no destination
You're in the mud
In the maze of her imaginationYou're lovin' this town
Even if that doesn't ring true
You've been all over
And it's been all over youIt's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
It's a beautiful dayTouch me
Take me to that other place
Teach me
I know I'm not a hopeless caseSee 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 outIt was a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
Beautiful dayTouch me
Take me to that other place
Reach me
I know I'm not a hopeless caseWhat 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
Was a beautiful day
