The heart is a bloom, shoots up through stony ground

But there's no room, no space 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,

You thought you'd found a friend to take you out of this place

Someone you could lend a hand in return for grace



It's a beautiful day, the sky falls

And you feel like it's a beautiful day

It's a beautiful day

Don't let it get away



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 it's been all over you



It's a beautiful day

Don't let it get away

It's a beautiful day

Don't let it get away



Touch me, take me to that other place

Teach me, I know I'm not a hopeless case



See the world in green and blue

See China right in front of you

See the canyons broken by cloud

See the tuna fleets clearing the sea out

See the bedouin fires at night

See the oil fields at first light

See the bird with a leaf in her mouth



After the flood all the colours came out

It was a beautiful day

A beautiful day

Don't let it get away



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

You don't need it now, you don't need it now

Beautiful day
