The sky's a bloodshot pink
Everything is gonna change
Blackbirds are ready to sing
Everything is gonna change
I thought I could write the future
Of course I was wrong
Life's not like a song
It never stays the same
And everything is gonna change

We were never the early birds
To fly out of bed singing
We were never the very first
To hear the bells ringing
But now we're standing here watching with our own eyes
The sunrise

The horizon you had in mind
When you and the boys were toasting
In the school yard in '99
Was a salute to this very morning
As we're standing here waiting for the light
The sunrise

And everything is gonna change
It's a new light, a new day
Everything is gonna change
There's a promise up in the air
Through curtains in every window
As faces everywhere
Begin to light up yellow
And we're standing here watching with our own eyes
The sunrise

And everything is gonna change
It's a new light, a new day
Everything is gonna change
Everything is gonna change
