Every Day Is A New Day

(tim tickner, christopher ward, diana ross)

Look in the mirror, who do you see
Where is the man that you used to be
When you turn off the world and turn down the lights
Do you ever wonder who you are tonight

I knew you then, i love you now
You can call me up when it gets you down
Behind the shades there's someone real
Behind your eyes i wonder how you feel

This is me talking to you
There's just one thing i'm asking you to do

You gotta drop the mask, be yourself
Drop the mask
Trust someone else

No one knows what you're going through
Whatever it is, i'll be there for you
If you drop the mask, be yourself
Drop the mask
Trust someone else

I was there when it all began
I still remember the boy within the man
I understand what it means to run and hide
There's so much that we're holding onto deep down inside

This is me talking to you
The only thing that i want you to do

You gotta drop the mask, be yourself
Drop the mask
Trust someone else

No one knows what you're going through
Whatever it is, i'll be there for you
When you drop the mask, be yourself
Drop the mask
Trust someone else

Drop the mask
Drop the mask
Let down your guard, open your heart
Unlose your chains, don't be afraid
Drop the mask
Be yourself
Be yourself
Trust someone else
You gotta drop the mask
Let down your guard, oh you gotta drop the mask
Trust someone else
You gotta drop the mask

Carry on
When the valley's deep
I'll be strong
With a mighty love to
Carry on
Never sleep til' the new day dawns

There's a new breeze blowin' tonight
Clear away the past
Honey, free at last
Yes, i've paid for the choices i've made

No apologies from me
You know i'll never, no
Never lose my will
Never, never standin' still

I'll carry on
When the valley's deep i'll be strong
With a mighty love to carry on
Never sleep til' the new day dawns
I carry on

I stand alone in the eye of the storm
Pressures all around
Tryin' to wear me down

But it's all right
I won't give up the fight
I said, "lord, lift me up!"
Let me rise above

I'll never
Nobody's gonna take my pride
I won't stop
I will not be denied

Carry on
When the valley's deep i'll be strong
With a mighty love to carry on, carry on
I'll never sleep till the new day dawns
I carry on

I won't let, i won't let nothing hold me
No, no i won't let
Won't let nothing hold me back
I won't stop now
Carry on, i'll carry on

Yes, i'll carry
I'll carry on, yeah
Yes i'll carry
Carry on, i'm gonna carry on
Yes, i'll carry
Carry on
Don't carry on without me

I said i'll never
Nobody's gonna take my pride
I won't stop i will not be denied

Carry on
When the valley's deep
I'll be strong with the mighty love to
Carry on, carry on
I'll never sleep till the new day dawns

When the valley's deep
Just carry on
I'll carry on
When the mountain's too high
You gotta carry on
I'll carry on
With the mighty love
I'll never sleep
I'll carry on till the new day dawns

When i think about all the love and fun that we used to have
There's no doubt that i do miss your touch
And all the good times and the bad
But i, i realize that we were not meant to be
So i'll set you free 'cause what they say doesn't apply to you and me

Some good things did come to an end
If you're ever down and out of need
I will be right here always, you have a friend in me
So call on me, even though we're apart
Even though we're apart
You'll always have a special place in my heart
You'll always have a special place in my heart

So they say
If it's right, it'll come back your way
I cannot lie, not this time
You've got yours and i'll get mine

People used to say one day you were gonna away
And break my heart in two
But it's all in the game of love
Sometimes you win or lose
Do what you gotta do

Can't say i regret that things that i got and didn't get
I knew all alone
Inside i saw all the signs yet and still i
Went along for the ride

Some good things do come to an end
If you're ever down and out of need
I will be right here, always you have a friend in me
So call on me, even though we're apart
Even though we're apart
You'll always have a special place in my heart
You'll always have a special place in my heart

So they say
If it's right, it'll come back your way
I cannot lie, not this time
You've got yours and i'll get mine

So they say
If it's right, it'll come back your way
I cannot lie, not this time
You've got yours and i'll get mine

They say, so they say, so they say
If it's right, it'll come back your way
I cannot lie, not this time
You've got yours and i'll get mine

Who would have ever thought
The day could ever come
When we would see
A love like this fall into pieces

And it hurts me to know that now 'til then
I'll only have these memories
And now there's no time left to pretend
And it feels like it's the end
But you're always in my heart
Until we meet again

Now i have to let you go
There's no way we can be friends
But you're always part of me
Until we meet again

Why while our love was strong
We still couldn't make it
Did time have to take our live in different directions
And it hurts cause there's no way for me to reach you
We're so far apart
When did we grow so far apart

And now there's no time left to pretend
And it feels like it's the end
But you're always in my heart
Until we meet again

Now i have to let you go
There's no way we can be friends
But you're always part of me
Until we meet again

Deep in my heart i know
I'll see you again well i don't know
Where or when.. but till then

And now there's no time left to pretend
And it feels like it's the end
But you're always in my heart
Until we meet again

Now i have to let you go
There's no way we can be friends
But you're always part of me
Until we meet again

And now there's no time left to pretend
And it feels like it's the end
But you're always in my heart
Until we meet again

Now i have to let you go
There's no way we can be friends
But you're always part of me
Until we meet again

And now there's no time left to pretend
And it feels like it's the end
But you're always in my heart
Until we meet again

Are we not more than hunger and music
Are we not more than harlequins and horns
Are we not more than color and drums
Are we not more than anger and dance
Give me courage so i can spread it over my face and mouth
Give me courage, give me courage
Give me courage, give me courage

I walk these city streets see the people there
Look into the eyes of quiet despair
And the faces tell a story that words never can
And it falls to everyone of us to try and understand
Out of kindness
One act of grace makes the world we walk a better place

Hope is an open window
Love an open door
To reach out for each other
Is what we came here for

Through an open window
We can see the way
If we hold on to each other, every day

We build walls of suspicion with bars of fears
Tell ourselves we'll be safe in here
I know more brings us together
Than keeps up apart
First we got to tear down these walls within our hearts

We might be strangers, we can be friends
You and i we both need to let somebody in

Hope is an open window
Love an open door
To reach out for each other
Is what we came here for

Through an open window
We can see the way
If we hold on to each other, every day

Give me courage so i can spread over my face and mouth
We are secret rivers with shaking hips and crests
Come awake in our thunder so that our eyes can see behind trees
Give me courage so i can spread over my face and mouth
Give me courage, give me courage
Give me courage, give me courage

Hope is an open window
Love's an open door
To reach out for each other
Is what we came here for

Through an open window
We can see the way
If we hold on to each other, every day

Hope is an open window
Love an open door
Gotta be there for each other
Is what we sent here for

Through an open window
We can find a way
To love one another

Hope is an open window
Love an open door

Every day is a new day
Since you went away

Since you went away from me
My whole life has made a change
Every day's a new day and i see
It was best for you and me

Since you went away from me
My whole life has made a change
Every day's a new day
Since you went away from me

You were my comfort zone
I depended on you for everything
I wanted in my life, yes i did

But now that you're gone
I'm doing just fine without you
How i bless the day you went away

Now i have a song inside
The birds sing to me
I finally can be
Free to spread my wings in harmony

Now the sun shines on me
I have been set free
To collect my thoughts and jot them down
All this happiness i've found
Since you've been away

Since you went away from me
My whole life has made a change
Every day's a new day and i see
It was best for you and me

Since you went away from me
My whole life has made a change
Every day's a new day
Since you went away from me

It may sound crazy, but i forgive you
And want the best for you
The circumstances came my way
Now i've learned to do for myself
And all the things i thought
That you would do for me
Like leaving me alone
To go for my own
When you're not at home
I'm glad you're gone

Now i have a song inside
The birds sing to me
I finally can be
Free to spread my wings in harmony

Now the sun shines on me
I have been set free
To collect my thoughts and jot them down
All this happiness i've found

Since you went away from me
My whole life has made a change
Every day's a new day and i see
It was best for you and me

Since you went away from me
My whole life has made a change
Every day's a new day
Since you went away from me

Since you went away from me
My whole life has made a change
Every day's a new day and i see
It was best for you and me
How i bless that day

Since you went away from me
My whole life has made a change
Every day's a new day
Since you went away from me

Every day

Since you went away from me
My whole life has made a change
Every day's a new day and i see
It was best for you and me

Since you went away from me
My whole life has made a change
Every day's a new day
Since you went away from me

Check it out

You were the first who ever brought me out
Showed me what life and love was all about
Gave me things that i never need
You're in my thoughts, my every dream

I found joy in your touch, i miss your kisses
The way you made me blush
Life is cruel now that you're gone
I love you so i can't let go, yeah

The way that you loved me

But it's so hard when you're still on my mind
