Every day I write the list
Of reasons why I still believe they do exist
A thousand beautiful things
And even though it's hard to see
The glass is full and not half empty
A thousand beautiful things
So light me up like the sun
To cool down with your rain
I never want to close my eyes again
Never close my eyes
Never close my eyes

I thank you for the air to breathe
The heart to beat
The eyes to see again
A thousand beautiful things
And all the things that's been and done
The battle's won
The good and bad in everyone
This is mine to remember
So, here I go again
Singin' by your window
Pickin' up the pieces of what's left to find

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's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
A 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
It's a beautiful day

Every day I write the list
Of reasons why I still believe they do exist
A thousand beautiful things
