Watching you as you awake
Morning stars in your eyes
Your hand in mine
The sky is lit up
Day will be richer than night
So don't think of yesterday
It's a, it's a, it's a new day
It's a, it's a, it's a new day
The beauty of you
Gives me my fortitude
Stronger than any dark cloud
Screaming out loud, hey, hey
The sky is lit up
Day will be richer than night
So don't think of yesterday
Its here and now
It's a, it's a, it's a new day
It's a, it's a, it's a new day
It's a, it's a, it's a new day
It's a, it's a, it's a new day

I don't think I've ever felt such a feeling of foreboding from any song before until I heard this on Greys Anatomy. The intro to the song without vocals gave me goosebumps especially with what was going on in that episode. It was just an amazing episode. And I'd like to add that the fourth season Greys Anatomy ending was AMAZING with Alex crying. I've been waiting for him to break since the series started and it was amazing seeing his tough exterior gone for at least a moment. <3
