The heart is a bloom
  Shoots up through the stony ground
  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
  Sky falls, you feel like
  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 that 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
  
  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
  And see the bird with a leaf in her mouth
  After the flood all the colors came out
  
  It was a beautiful day
  Don't let it get away
  Beautiful day
  
  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
  Don't need it now
  Was a beautiful day
