Waking Up to a New Day

It definitely feels like a new day for me.  When I went to bed, I was amazed at how one word, one tweet, could make my mood change from optimistic to depressed.  So, I changed the position of my sleep to change my headspace (laid my head where my feet usually go) and woke up in a much more positive mood.  (I don't know why that works, but it does.)  I'm ready to make these changes, to wake up to a new day.

I got up and did 15 minutes on my elliptical, ate a healthy breakfast of honeydew, yogurt and a whole grain Eggo waffle with honey.  Normally, I don't eat and never exercise.  While these don't seem like drastic changes, they're signs of something different in me.  I'm ready for this new day.

Before the light I found the dark

Before tonight I feel apart

Frozen up I’ve realized that something’s gotta change

It took a crash to understand

Time kept slipping through my hands

I never used to know

The sun will shine after the rain

Say goodbye, say goodbye to the way

I was before

Say hello, say hello to a new way

I was lost, but I found what

I was looking for

Waking up, waking up to a new day

A new day

I was sleeping in a twisted dream

Dying just to make believe

A pretty situation was far from where I was

But I’m not up for giving up

Lying down and out of luck

My mistakes are in the open and know I’m finally coming clean

Say goodbye, say goodbye to the way

I was before

Say hello, say hello to a new way

I was lost, but I found what

I was looking for

Waking up, waking up to a new day

A new day

Cause everything, everything

ends at the start

I’m healing and feeling all of my scars 

Say goodbye, say goodbye to the way

I was before

Say hello, say hello to a new way

I was lost, but I found what

I was looking for

Waking up, waking up to a new day

A new day
