lyrics

Each day I wake
the same lonely man
I was the day before.
But today
something catches me
by surprise.

Something in the air
or something in my veins—
there's a difference in the way
the morning says hello.
It's brighter,
warmer,
more familiar,
like a friend.

What else can I do but smile
and sing?

Whatever it is
I don't mind at all.
It's a change not for the worse
and I could use a spark
beneath me
wraps me in its arms
and away.

Off into the day
one handshake at a time.
In a way, it's funny
I never knew
that all it took was
one step,
one word,
and there I'd been,
all alone:
one man against them all.

Each day I wake
the same lonely man
But not today.
