My First Post of 2009

For today, I just felt impressed to post the lyrics to this song... It seems like it fits today really well. :) To hear the song, click on the little playlist at the top of my sidebar. (Turn off my other music first by clicking the miniscule 'pause' button)

New Day by Avalon:

Chorus:

It's a new day,

Oh, it's a new time

And there's a new way,

I'm gonna live my life

All the old has passed away

And the new has come

Thank God, it's a brand new day

Lookin' back at yesterday,

There are things that I regret

But I put the past behind me

And I never will forget

You have covered my mistakes,

And my broken dreams

Now over the horizon

I see the dawn is drawing near

And I realize the sun did rise

Tomorrow's finally here

Chorus:

And it's a New Day,

Oh, it's a new time

And there's a new way,

I'm gonna live my life

All the old has passed away

And the new has come

Thank God, it's a brand new day

Now when I wake up thinkin'

Of the things I've done before

Memories I could not escape

Well they can't haunt me anymore

Now I can hold my head up high

'Cause I am not the same

You've changed my whole perspective

And with new eyes I see

I've become a new creation

'Cause of what you've done for me

Chorus:

It's a New Day,

Oh, it's a new time

And there's a new way

I'm gonna live my life

All the old has passed away

And the new has come

Thank God, it's a brand new day

Cause of what you've done for me

Now I am not ashamed

This heart of mine is finally free

And I will never be the same!

'Cause it's a New Day,

Yeah, it's a new time

And there's a new way

I'm gonna live my life

All the old has passed away

And the new has come

Thank God, it's a brand new day

(repeat chorus)

End.

My absolute favorite line in the whole song is "And I realize, the sun did rise, tomorrow's finally here". I used to get shivers when I heard it. :) I still do, sometimes.

So what did you do for New Year's Eve? I was at home. My brothers and I lit sparklers outside on the gravel driveway and I filmed some of it... I'll have to post a video later. :D

Blessings to all and a very Happy New Year to everyone!!!

Currently I'm feeling: Happy, and extremely Optimistic about the new year!
