The heart is a bloom, shoots u p through stony ground
But there's no room, no space to rent in this town
You're out of luck and the r eason that you had to care
The traffic is stuck and you're not m ovin' anywhere
You thought you’d foun d a friend to take you ou t of this place
Someone y ou could lend a h and in ret urn for grace
It's a beautiful day,
T he sky falls and you feel like
It's a beautiful day,
Don’t le t it get away
You’re on the road but you’ve got no destination
You’re in the mud, in the maz e of her imagination
You love this town e ven if that doesn’t ring true
You’ve be en all ov er a nd it’s bee n all over you
It's a beautiful day,
Don't l et it get away
It's a beautiful day,
Tou ch me, t ake me to that other place
Tea ch me l ove, I k now I’m not a hopeless case

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
See the bird with a leaf in her mouth
A fter the flood all the c olours came out
It was a beautiful day
Don't l et it get away
A beautiful d ay
Tou ch me, t ake me to that other place
Rea ch me, I k now I'm not a hopeless case
What you d on’t have you do n’t need it now
What you d on’t know you can feel it somehow
What you d on’t have you don’t ne ed it now
Don’t ne ed it now
It was a beautiful day
