Daybreak, another new day,
The mist on the meadow is drifting away,
For it's daybreak, the sun's in the sky now,
And flowers break through their blanket of dew,
Sunrise, how lovely it seems
To see from my window a sky full of dreams,
As the white clouds sail on through the blue,
I'm singin' to the world
It's time we let the spirit come in
Let it come on in
I'm singin' to the world
Everybody's caught in the spin
Look at where we've been
Weve been runnin' around
Year after year
blinded with pride
blinded with fear
But it's daybreak
If you wanna believe
it can be daybreak
Ain't no time to grieve
Said it's daybreak
if you'll only believe
and let it shine, shine, shine
all around the world
Singin' to the world
What's the point in puttin' it down?
There's so much love to share
I'm singin' to the world
Don't you see it all comes around?
The feeling's everywhere
We've been closin' our eyes
day after day
covered in clouds
losin' our way
Hey, but it's daybreak
if you wanna believe
it can be daybreak
Ain't no time to grieve
Said it's daybreak
if you'll only believe
and let it shine, shine, shine
Here comes the daylight, it's making me sad
Here comes the sunlight, making me sad
Had a good time last night, best I've ever had
But here comes the sunshine, it's making me sad
So sad, so sad, so sad, so sad, yeah
Here comes the daybreak, it's bringing me pain
It's causing me heartaches, I wish it would rain
Had a good time last night, just me and my friends
But here comes the daylight and now is the end
Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no
Here comes the daylight, it's bringing me down
Causing me heartaches, it's spinnin' my head around, yeah
Here comes the daybreak, it's bringing me pain
It's causing me heartaches, I wish it would rain
Had a good time last night, just me and my friends
But here comes the daylight and now is the end
Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no
Oh no, oh no, oh no
Here comes the sunlight, it's bringing me down
It's causing me heartaches, it's spinnin' my head around, yeah
Here comes the daybreak, it's making me cough
It's causing me sunburn, it's pissing me off
Had a good time last night then the mood stiffed
Now all that will save me is a total eclipse
It's after midnight
And everyone's in their room
And I'm just waiting for the lights to go out
But in the mean time
I'm ringin' ringin' your phone
I'm sayin' baby be patient
I have almost escaped to see you
When they fall asleep
I'm gonna be free
Hope nobody wants to stay up too late
Cause I'm
Sneakin out to play tonight
Gonna take a taxi ride
Have fun with you
It feels so good I can't wait
Feels like a minute when I'm with you then
The whole thing has to end
Hurry up get back in bed
Before daybreak
I can't stay inside
I know I saw you last night
But it's already been too long
I need to feel your body
The touch of your body
But that's not all
No that's not all
When I'm around you time gets lost
When they fall asleep
I'm gonna be free
Hope nobody wants to stay up too late
Cause I'm
Sneakin out to play tonight
Gonna take a taxi ride
Have fun with you
It feels so good I can't wait
Feels like a minute when I'm with you then
The whole thing has to end
Hurry up get back in bed
Before daybreak
Sneak down the stairs
Get money for the fare
Time is of the essence
So I'll tell the driver hurry up
I can't sit still
I'm like a lil' kid
Smilin' cuz I'll be in your arms in a minute
Times like this I
Can't afford to miss
Worth the risk of getting caught
Just to have your kiss
And when I have to go (it's the saddest)
But I'm so glad to know
I'll see you tomorrow
When they fall asleep
I'm gonna be free
Hope nobody wants to stay up too late
Cause I'm
Sneakin out to play tonight
Gonna take a taxi ride
Have fun with you
It feels so good I can't wait
Feels like a minute when I'm with you then
The whole thing has to end
Hurry up get back in bed
Before daybreak
I'm sneakin', I'm sneakin'
I wanna spend the weekend
Have fun with you
It feels so good I can't wait
I'm sneakin', I'm sneakin'
Ain't happy that I'm leavin'
Hurry up get back in bed
Before daybreak
Cause I'm
Sneakin out to play tonight
Gonna take a taxi ride
Have fun with you
It feels so good I can't wait
Feels like a minute when I'm with you then
The whole thing has to end
Hurry up get back in bed
Daybreak, I can't hide the truth
It seems I'm not so strong
And suddenly, there's no more to lose
So where did I go wrong
I should have known before
Her love for me was gone
Now I'm waiting for the light
To fill this empty room
I need you now to break thru the night
Whose shadows came too soon
I waited far too long and now
I feel I can't go on
CHORUS
Daybreak, oh daybreak
I let her walk away
I should have said, don't go
I know I should have found another way
Now I don't know what to do
So daybreak, please break through
Daybreak, I feel so alone
Why won't you come to stay
I waited far too long and now
I feel I can't go on

ENGLISH translation:
Having lost my face
because of these times,
I've lived all these years
clinging to my own existence.
Now, let's stand up together.
Fight to win yourself.
No matter how far apart we are,
we're still under the same sky.
Don't forget that we're both
travelling to the place
we once dreamed of.
Light and shadow are
really the same thing.
If you close your eyes,
you can see them on your own.
Both the sadness in happiness,
and the hope at the end of pain
No matter how far apart we are,
we're always together.
Remember that even when you feel
crushed by the weight of the world,
there's someone out there who loves you.
Things aren't random;
Maybe everything is
inevitable.
No matter how far apart we are,
we're still under the same sky.
Don't forget that we're both
travelling to the place
Daybreak...
I Went Through An Endless Night Of Lonelyness
The World Had Turned In Shades Of Blue
But Now I See A Distant Glow And Hopes Arise
I’ll Have My Way, Since I Met You
Memories Of Yesterday
Still Make Me Sad
But Now I Know I Found The One
To Ease My Mind With Tender Love
Can Make Me Forget
Daybreak
Once Again I’ll See The Sunshine
Once Again It Will Be Springtime
And I’ll Be In Love Again
Daybreak
No More Reason To Be Crying
You Will Never See Me Sighing
For Our Love Will Never End
Once The Nights Were Filled With Dreams
Of Yesterday, The World Of Love Was Far Away
But Now I Look Into Your Eyes
And I Can Read That You Are Mine, And You Will Stay
What You Were Dreaming Of
I’ll Give To You
And All That Has Been Dark And Grey
It Will Be Cleared And Coloured Soon
The World Will Be New
Daybreak
Once Again I’ll See The Sunshine
Once Again It Will Be Springtime
And I’ll Be In Love Again
Daybreak
No More Reason To Be Crying
You Will Never See Me Sighing
For Our Love Will Never End
My Heart is gone,
It drove to the shore,
Swam out in the night,
Way out past the lines,
I heard that now,
It lives in the south,
of West Central Spain,
Drinking off the pain,
Because inside, I'm broke,
I'm cracked, I'm alone,
No hope for a change,
No way to erase,
The world would be,
Better without me,
So How could this be?
Somehow, you love me.
Somehow, you love me.
Somehow, you live me.
I stepped out to see the stars fall,
Alone on the neighbor's lawn.
I held my hand on my head,
Now I'm waiting to hear you call
I'm going out my mind,
I'm giving up the fight this time,
So love me all and go, no longer care if I die alone
The whole world is waiting, watching to see when your
gonna fall,
Ten thousand faces staring and your back is against the
wall,
Fucked up pass the point of fixing, so tell me what
went wrong
I'm going out my mind,
I'm giving up the fight this time,
Love me all and go, no longer care if I die alone,
Cause' in the darkness of my mind,
I used to dream of suicide,
I'm gonna pull myself out,
Before I die.
I'm going out my mind,
I'm giving up the fight this time,
Love me all and go, no longer care if I die alone,
Now it's eight in the morning,
up all night just walking around.
I'm hiding out here under the window
by the sink where we used to laugh all day long.
I wait till I see you walking
from the bedroom down to the kitchen.
Fingering your hand into curls while talking
on the phone resting on your collarbone.
Here I come again, head is hanging low.
You put down the phone, take me in our arms.
And I'm all alone with you my love.
And did you hear me coming?
Running over the words I said last night.
While wishing I never saw your eyes
swell up with tears dripping down your thighs.
I can't let it go, I'm lost inside.
I can get so low.
Seems like there's no up and I'm all alone
So take me in your arms knowing I'm the one.
I turn around to say how could you still love me.
Sun is shining, lighting up your face.
You stare off into space not knowing what to say.
Searching for the words to set things straight so I
say...
I'm a Zig Zag sideways, upside down, out of my mind
What's the point of living if were all just born to
die.
You say why?
Why ask why?
I say "I get fucked up."
You say "delusional."
Somehow will you still open arms.
"Come with me" you say.
We step outside to face the sun.
Yesterday I dream that it would all bend out to dust.
Take a breath, turn around.
See the sun come through the clouds, the light alive in
your eyes.
Standing here by your side of an arm under the sky.
I know I want to hold on.
The letters left on the lawn.
The shadows crawling the wall.
The mirror shatters and falls.
I've been lost for so long, no more will to carry on.
So dark and dead in the seas.
Nothing left in the end.
And to pray is to pretend.
I'm tired of trying to believe.
So can we learn to forget.
I wanna hold you again.
Can we love remember our love.
I can get so low.
Seems like there's no up and I'm all alone
DAYBREAK (From "Son of Dracula")
Written by Harry Nilsson
Here comes the daylight
It's makin' me sad
Here comes the sunlight
Makin' me sad
Had a good time last night
Best I ever had
Here come the sunshine
That's makin' me sad
So sad, so sad, so sad, so sad
Here come the daybreak
It's bringin' me pain
It's causin' me heartache
I wish it would rain
Had a good time last night
Just me and my friends
But here come the daylight
And now it's the end
Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no
Here come the daylight
It's bringin' me down
Causin' me heartache
It's spinnin' my head around, yeah
Here come the daybreak
It's bringin' me pain
It's causin' me heartache
I wish it would rain
Had a good time last night
Just me and my friends
But here come the daylight
And now it's the end
Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no
Here come the daylight
It's bringin' me down
It's causin' me heartache
It's spinnin' my head around, yeah
Here come the daybreak
It's makin' me cough
It's causin' me sunburn
It's pissin' me off
Had a good time last night
In the moon's glimpse
Now all that'll save me
Is a total eclipse
Daybreak, another new day, the mist on the meadow is
drifting away,
For it's daybreak, the sun's in the sky now,
And flowers break through their blanket of dew,
Sunrise, how lovely it seems, to see from my window a
sky full of dreams,
As the white clouds sail on through the blue, at
You and I on different waves
we cannot be parted, but you cannot stay
I wish I had known you, but now it's too late
The daylight has faded and drowned in my wake.
I went 'round to stand in your hall
To watch you descend
While your taxi slowed
Outside my home
For the last drive by
I went 'round for to fill your sail
What a way to wake
What a way to wake
We're cracking with the break of day
And God gave us guts
To have feelings, to spill
But why would you let them show
When they look like this
What a way to wake
What a way to wake
We're cracking with the break of day
Break the day
Break the day
As the sky's a flame, he stood high upon that hill
Only him to blame, on his limbs this frozen chill
That calls on him, the glow's beyond these mountainsides
And creeps his skin, he prays for sun, he prays for light
Now he fears so deep the second coming of a day
Just to fall asleep, his skin still covered by the haze
That veils his eyes, and in the crimson light of dawn
His life's demise - a stillborn child there in his arms
Chorus
This son of mine - Take me
Broken his eyes - Break me
A life for a life - Freeze my heart beneath this new horizon...
As the sight grew clear, a sparrow glides from far above
For to touch so dear, oh, this tiny child, my love
A lifeblood's leave, as the beam caresses its wings
It sings the tune, calling lost life from deep within
Chorus
Taking this side for to give him some time - breaks a day
Changing a light is a barter of time - seals the way
Navigation in nautical twilight,
Separation from what we know is right.
The wind was taking us in the wrong direction,
It's about time we showed some disaffection.
Carry the weight of thousands of years.
Turn the page, let's make it all disappear.
We've had enough of inhibited progression,
Held back by cloak and dagger oppression.
We're insulting our own intelligence.
I won't listen without any evidence.
I'll live my life in the name of no one.
Bow your head, palm to palm,
Worship here in this cerebral cathedral.
As day breaks, the sunlight heals,
As day breaks, the light reveals.
These chains that we've been living in,
How easily we've been giving in.
Now she'd this skin, let change begin.
As day breaks, the sunlight heals,
As day breaks, the light reveals.
Navigation in nautical twilight,
Separation from what we know is right.
It feels to me like this boat is sinking,
Weighed down by rational thinking.
Light begins to pierce the distance.
Solar dawn, relieve the friction.
Blue hours quicken the pulse.
Daybreak
And the moon's still floating high
What a wonderful surprise
I close my eyes
And dream of you
I'm dreaming at daybreak
And the world's so far behind
That's why i always find at daybreak
I'm still dreaming of you
You're from above
My one and only love
There's no other
At daybreak
All i want is you forever
That's why it's true whenever daybreaks
I'm still dreaming of you
A censored write up on love in yesterday's paper
Left me feeling lonely
As rotten paper falls from my notebook
I had to bring myself to pick up my jaw
You can't stop daybreak, daybreak
Well In the back of my mind she sits
With her arms around his chest
If I had four hands
I could hold you like you wanted
And I'd give you my soul
To see that it's been sold
That it's been sold
That it's been sold
That it's been sold
You can't stop daybreak
With your voice inside
Scribbled on an empty sidewalk through his life
Flipping page by page
Looking up so far down
You can't stop daybreak, daybreak
Disappointed
From her looks of despair
From this
O'youth seek not others
for you're seeking hell
waste not young life in vain
Sight of flesh so tender
only brings heartache and pain
It's all mirage in desert of vanity
"O'youth seek not others
but yourself - Seek well!
Only silence may reveal true warriors heart"
Seek not - be one to be sought for
whatever is brought to you - you take
"Never thank for pleasures not asked for"
In solitude the strong shall flourish
In bloom is loner's heart
Envy not others - it's their part
O'youth take my word
true wisdom is voice of tranquil heart
Those restless in youth are never truly born
Sitting still in circle of time
watching days to break, moons to rise
Alive - still yet to be born
With my Ally I'll return - Newborn!
"Dream my earthly child dream
The eagle and the serpent
will guard your sleep"
Riding with the drum
flying on the whirling wind
on the crest of clouds
the worlds where I'm the Dweller
This is the daybreak
And this is the love we make
For love is the law here
You got to know how I love it, yea
It's more than a mover
You know it takes all fast, all song
Stone cold wild
Bring the loving son, brother, man
True nature child
I think I'll sing it
From Atlanta, Georgia
To Moss Side, Manchester
Everyone ready
So, so willin' and able
Yea, yea, yea
For the love you make
Gone home sis
Huh, yea, woo
Yea, yea, yea
She built it to make ya
We all love maker's ain't we?
Sister Rosa Lee Parks
Love forever her name in your heart
Forever in my heart
Hmm, yea, hoo, yea
As I sing on this song
Someone just got rolled on
Hey, oh, hey, yea, woo, yea
Hmm, Hmm
New York City
To Addis Ababa ba ba
Keep on keepin' strong
Keep on keepin' on
So why no stat for black on a radio station in this, the city?
Been goin' on so long, level on the line
I'm a leaf on the vine of time
Black bones are the original bones
So, this the whole wide world should know, y'all
I came to sing this song in your city
Ooh, for the dreamer
One more for the dreamer
Yea, yea, yea
If these walls could talk
They'd whisper, "Just hold on"
Don't this sunshine in this place
If we lose the night, it might not same
Not the same, oh
You look in my eyes and tell me things won't change
Then I feel safe letting you go
I don't wanna move
Don't let go of this moment
I don't wanna close my eyes
Don't wanna miss a thing
I don't wanna know if this is tonight
Only stop time, stop daylight
'Cause when day breaks
it might all be over
When day, when day, when day breaks
It might all be over
When day, when day, when day breaks
Trace my skin
Hold out your hands
And let me in
The truth is coming through this blinds
I'm afraid the truth might be unkind
So unkind, oh
You look in my eyes and tell me things won't change
And I feel safe letting you go
I don't wanna move
Don't let go of this moment
I don't wanna close my eyes
Don't wanna miss a thing
I don't wanna know this is tonight
Only stop time, stop daylight
'Cause when day breaks
It might all be over
When day, when day, when day breaks
It might all be over
When day, when day, when day breaks
Don't let the break of day
Change the way we feel tonight
Tonight, tonight, tonight (Ooh)
I don't wanna move
Don't let go of this moment
I dont wanna close my eyes
Don't wanna miss a thing
I don't wanna know if this is tonight
Only stop time, stop daylight
'Cause when day breaks
It might all be over
I don't wanna move,
Don't wanna let go of this moment
I don't wanna close my eyes
Don't wanna miss a thing
I don't wanna know if this is tonight
Only stop time, stop daylight
Cause when day breaks
It might be over
When day, when day, when day breaks
It might all be over
Your in an isolated sun without a glimse of hope
(no hope)
Your mind is long gone and you've run out of smoke
(no smoke)
Your brain feels like a jellyfish in the ocean of your mind
(your not there)
You try to seize the day if you could only crawl out of bed
So what u gunna do when the sun wont shine
(wont shine)
What u gunna do when the words don't rhyme
(they wont rhyme)
One runs one hides one throws a little fit
One like a coward takes a knife to his wrist
But another brushes away his strife
(his strife)
Jah come to him with a new approach to life
(his life)
He can laugh he can sing he can make his life a dream
No matter how oppressed he can always be free
Shes got her hands around your neck like a noose ready to squeeze
(she'll squeeze)
You think your standing tall but your really on your knees
(your knees)
Then one day it comes like somehow you knew it would
(somehow)
Loves a fatal game where evil always triumphs over good
What u gunna do when your soulmate shys
(she shys)
What u gunna do when the devil crys
(he cries)
One dips one trips one cashes in his chips
One poor fool swan dives off a cliff
But another smiles in the golden sunlight
(sunlight)
Lets the honey rays turn his dark soul bright
(dark soul bright)
Cuz he can ride he can glide
He can burn and stay inside
They can pressure every bone
But they can never ever kill your pride
You take a look around the room at these friends most dear
(so dear)
As a tear slowly drops into your glass of beer
(my beer)
You laugh at your future and cringe at your past
(so past)
Subconciously hoping this day will be your last
(be last)
And when you try to tell them just exactly how you feel
(how you feel)
Your tongue is so filled with discomfort and cold hard steel
(cold steel)
Each new day brings a different set of eyes
You must crawl upon some reason because down far lies
So what you gunna do when the musics through
(its through)
What you gunna do when truths not true
(not true)
One sighs one cries one submits to his demise
(demise)
One man puts a bullet right between his eyes
(his eyes)
But another, legs can break out of night
(they break)
Hits the bubble gum and feels quite alright
(all night)
Cuz he can hum as he strums a little tune on the guitar
Daybreak
I saw you in your mess and I heard you say
What could make a girl know she’s worth loving
Heartache
I’m just another lost one and I’m wasting time
But I need to know, just like you, how I’m worth loving
And I know it’s just about me
There’s not a law to read
But something is pushing me
And by the dawning
I can’t see how I’ll be worth loving
Payday
That’s not about us and I’m glad I’m aside
You do what you’ve got to, better make it worth loving
And I know it’s just about me
There’s not a law to read
But something is pushing me
And by the dawning
Ignite the days.
Today has got me down,
And nothings stronger now,
Than what I've come to know.
As day begins to break,
It's all that I can take,
And cracks begin to show.
The day has won again with wearisome routine,
It ways me down and renders my mind to machine,
Morning hours come with certainty,
Like fireworks to flame we work just to ignite the days.
And they are breaking like a burden to our back,
With promised failure faults and foreordained attack,
It's burning down this fuse, and burning fast,
Well the day breaks
and I play dead
cause I can't fake
that my empty bed
isn't lonely in the mornings without you
and I'm back where
I was before
and the game's fair
if you're keeping score
but we aren't, are we...
Slowly
my doubts begin to surface
So tell me
if all of this is worth it
but I like
what I've found
keep me around
and the day's short
so I drive fast
and I've long since
forgot my past
but something's
got me hesitating now
but I'll stay here
and I'll stay still
and I'll stay with you
if you say you will
let me rest my tired head next to yours
and I'm missing
what I never had
second guessing
what my insticts said
when they told me
I've got nothing to fear.
cause I don't.
and I won't.
