lyrics

To the morning light,
Coming up just as you're about to give up that fight.
Here's to you and that patch of blue.
Let's sing a new song.

Well, the monkey's off your back,
But you just can't seem to get back on track.
Here's to you and what's long past due.
Let's sing a new song.

You're not ever alone,
I'll pick you up if you pick me up,
I'll pick you up if you pick me up.
Don't forget if you lose your step,
You can still sing a new song.

And I'll be singing along,
I'll pick you up if you pick me up,
I'll pick you up if you pick me up.
And if we fall down again,
We'll sing a new song.

We'll sing a new song
We'll sing a new song

We'll sing a new song
We'll sing a new song

It's just life, you know.
Everyday is a chance to get it right,
And if you don't it's okay,
'Cause tomorrow you'll sing a new song.
Can't sit around,
Blaming everyone, everything for ever keeping you down.
Here's to you and what's left to do.
Let's sing a new song.

You're not ever alone,
I'll pick you up if you pick me up,
I'll pick you up if you pick me up.
Don't forget if you lose your step,
You can still sing a new song.

And I'll be singing along,
I'll pick you up if you pick me up,
I'll pick you up if you pick me up.
And if we fall down again,
We'll sing a new song.

(Repeat)
