Verse 1:
The heart is a bloom
Shoots up through the stoney ground
But there’s no room
No space to rent in this town
You outta luck
And the reason that you had to care
The traffic is Stuck
And you’re not moving anywhere
You thought you’d found a friend
To take you out of this place
Someone you can lend, a hand
In return for Grace

Chorus 1:
It’s a beautiful Day!!!
The sky falls and you feel like
It’s a beautiful day!!
Don’t let it get away

Verse 2:
You’re on the road
But you’ve got no destination
You’re in the mud
In the maze of her imagination
You love this town
Even if it doesn’t ring true
You’ve been all over and its been all over you

Chorus 2:
It’s a beautiful day!!!
Don’t let it get away
It’s a beautiful Day!!
Oh oh
