IN NEW DAYS DAWN

IN NEW DAYS DAWN

 

WRITTEN BY JEFF R HILTON

 

OCTOBER 2019

 

WOKE UP THIS MORNING

LOOKED INTO THE SUN

LOOKED BACK AT

THE WAY I'D COME

 

THE TRACKS WERE GONE

THE SAND FILLED IN

BY THE WIND

THE STORMS THAT

WORE ME DOWN

STRENGTHENED MY RESOLVE

 

I TOOK EVERY CHANCE

THAT CAME MY WAY

TRIED TO EMBRACE

THE CHANGES

COMING ON SO FAST

 

ALL THE HEARTACHES

I PUT ASIDE  

HEAVEN AND HELL

WELL

I'VE ALREADY SEEN

BEEN THERE

 

THE DECADES WINGING BY

DISAPPEARED ONE BY ONE

LEAVING THE WORLD

IN CHANGE

BARELY TIME TO SAY GOODBYE

THROWN TO THE WOLVES

 THEY TOOK THEIR SHARE

 

WELCOME TO THE FUTURE

NOT QUITE THE UTOPIA

I'D HEARD IT WOULD BE

THERE ARE SOME THINGS

I WISH I HADN'T SEEN

CHANGED ME FOREVER

 

CAST THE WEIGHT OFF

CUT THE CHAINS

I NEVER KNEW I HAD

SLIP OVER THE HORIZON

IN NEW DAYS DAWN

DON'T BOTHER LOOKING BACK

ITS ALL GONE

 

LIKE A LOST OLD FRIEND

A FAMILIAR FACE

IN THE MISTY SKIES OF TIME

I NEVER SAW IT COMING

I NEVER SAW IT GO

I MISSED THE SUBTLE CHANGES

 

I DIDN'T KNOW 

MY HEART WAS ON THE LIST

UNTIL THE LAST DAY

THE LAST KISS

CAST THE WEIGHT OFF

CUT THE CHAINS

I NEVER KNEW I HAD

SLIP OVER THE HORIZON

IN NEW DAYS DAWN

NEW LIGHT TO CARRY ON
