Are you now where you stand
Better than you were yesterday
Did you add to yourself
Or maybe you finally stripped away
An idea that held you fastened to the ground
Did you find away to lay the burden down
And look around and

Wake up there's something new at hand
Look up the view itself is grand
Get out the day is waiting
Bursting with things to be celebrating

This is the day that the Lord has made
Let us rejoice and be glad in it
This is the day that the Lord has made
Let us rejoice and be glad in it

All at once you are one
With the song of the birds there in the trees
And your worry becomes weightless
As you surrender to the breeze
And it carries you to some place lighter still
It's a tranquil dew that natures cup has spilled
Come have your fill and

Wake up there's something new at hand
Look up the view itself is grand
Get out the day is waiting
Bursting with things to be celebrating

Chorus

This is the song that my heart must sing
I want to dance and remember
This is the day that the Lord has made
let us rejoice and be glad in it

Let's leave tomorrow for tomorrow
And the past there where it is
Now is the time we're given
It's the present that we're livin'

Chorus
