The heart is a bloom, shoots up through stony ground
But there's no room, no s***e to rent in this town
You're out of luck and the reason that you had to care
The traffic is stuck and you're not moving anywhere
It was a beautiful day
Beautiful day
You thought you'd found a friend to take ya out of this place
Someone you can lend a hand in return for grace
It's a beautiful day / Day-ay-ay-ay, Ay-ay-ay-ay
Sky falls, you feel like it's a beautiful day / Day-ay-ay-ay
Don't let it get away / Ay-ay-ay-ay
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 that doesn't ring true
You've been all over and it's been all over you
It's a beautiful day / Day-ay-ay-ay
Don't let it get away / Ay-ay-ay-ay
It's a beautiful day / Day-ay-ay-ay
Woo hoo hoo / Ay-ay-ay-ay
Day-ay-ay-ay
Woo hoo hoo / Ay-ay-ay-ay
Day-ay-ay-ay
Woo hoo hoo / Ay-ay-ay-ay
Day-ay-ay-ay
Woo hoo hoo / Ay-ay-ay-ay
See the world in green and blue
See China right in front of you
See the canyons broken by a cloud
See the tuna fleets clearing the sea out
See the bedouin fires at night
See the oil fields at first light
And, see the bird with a leaf in her mouth
After the flood all the colours came out
It was a beautiful day
It was a beautiful day
Woo hoo hoo
Woo hoo hoo
It was a beautiful day / Day-ay-ay-ay
Don't let it get away / Ay-ay-ay-ay
Beautiful day / Day-ay-ay-ay
Ay-ay-ay-ay
Touch me, take me to that other place
Reach me, I know I'm not a hopeless case
What you don't have you don't need it now
What you don't know you can feel it somehow
What you don't have you don't need it now
Don't need it now
Was a Beautiful Day
Oh oh oh ooh
Warm in the sun
While I ease you, my summer
