Brand New Day
Sting & The Police/Sting Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Been hurt in some kind of love affair?
And how many times did you swear
That you'd never love again?
How many lonely, sleepless nights?
How many lies, how many fights?
So why would you want to
Put yourself through all of that again?
"Love is pain," I hear you say
Love has a cruel and bitter way of
Paying you back for all the faith you ever had in your brain
How could it be that what you need the most
Can leave you feeling just like a ghost?
You never want to feel so sad and lost again
One day you could be looking
Through an old book in rainy weather
You see a picture of her smiling at you
When you were still together
You could be walking down the street
And who should you chance to meet
But that same old smile you've been thinking of all day, hmm
Why don't we turn the clock to zero, honey
I'll sell the stock, we'll spend all the money
We're starting up a brand new day
Turn the clock all the way back
I wonder if she'll take me back
I'm thinking in a brand new way
Turn the clock to zero, sister
You'll never know how much I missed her
I'm starting up a brand new day
Turn the clock to zero, boss
The river's wide, we'll swim across
We're starting up a brand new day
It could happen to you
Just like it happened to me
There's simply no immunity
There's no guarantee
I'll say, "Love is such a force if you find yourself in it, babe"
Leave some time for reflection, you think
Baby, wait a minute, wait a minute
Wait a minute, wait a minute
Wait a minute, wait a minute
If you can turn the clock to zero, honey
I'll sell the stock, we'll spend all the money
We're starting up a brand new day
Turn the clock to zero, Mac
I'm begging her to take me back
I'm thinking in a brand new way
Turn the clock to zero, boss
The river's wide, we'll swim across it
Starting up a brand new day (it's a brand new day)
Turn the clock to zero, buddy
Don't wanna be no fuddy duddy
We're starting up a brand new day
I'm the rhythm in your tune
I'm the sun and you're the moon
I'm the bat and you're the cave
You're the beach and I'm the wave (it's a brand new day)
I'm the plough and you're the land
You're the glove and I'm the hand
I'm the train and you're the station
I'm the flagpole to your nation
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm the present to your future (stand up)
You're the wound and I'm the suture (it's a brand new day)
You're the magnet to my pole
I'm the devil in your soul (stand up)
You're the pupil, I'm the teacher
You're the church and I'm the preacher (it's a brand new day)
You're the flower, I'm the rain
You're the tunnel, I'm the train (stand up)
All you lovers in the world, yeah
Stand up and be counted, every boy and every girl
Stand up all you lovers in the world, yeah, yeah
We're starting up a brand new day
You're the crop to my rotation (it's a brand new day)
You're the sum of my equation
I'm the answer to your question (startin' up a brand new day)
If you follow my suggestion
We can turn this ship around (it's a brand new day)
You go up instead of down
You're the pan and I'm the handle (startin' up a brand new day)
You're the flame and I'm the candle (stand up)
All you lovers in the world (it's a brand new day)
Stand up and be counted every boy and every girl (startin' up a brand new day)
Stand up all you lovers in the world (it's a brand new day)
(It's a brand new day)
(It's a brand new day)
(It's a brand new day)
The song "Brand New Day" by Sting & The Police/Sting begins by asking how many people have been hurt in love and have sworn never to love again. It speaks to the pain and bitterness that love can bring. The lyrics suggest that people will experience sadness and feel lost, but sometimes love can bring unexpected joy when they see a picture of their loved one or run into them on the street. The song then suggests that the couple turn the clock to zero and start fresh. They are willing to sell everything and take a risk on a new and better day.
The lyrics express a need for reflection before jumping into love again. There is no guarantee that people will not get hurt, but love is a powerful force that cannot be denied. The song also uses vivid imagery to compare the lovers to various things like the sun and moon, the plough and land, the train and station, and the flower and rain. In the end, the song calls for all lovers to stand up and be counted, to start a brand new day.
Overall, "Brand New Day" is ultimately a song about hope and the possibilities of starting anew. It acknowledges the pain and heartache of love but insists that it's still worth pursuing. The lyrics urge people not to give up on love but to seize the opportunity of a new day.

One of Sting's best songs, happy and motivational. Stevie Wonder's harmonica added a special touch to the song.
