New Day

Music and lyrics by Robbie Seay Band
Experience by Allison, Aaron, and Sean

I’m gonna sing this song
To let you know that you’re not alone
4am. Sharing the crisp Oregon air. One driving the Yaris, one sleeping, one praying for the day ahead.
And if you’re like me, you’ll need hope, coffee and melody
Salty snacks, Dutch Brothers coffee, and Robbie Seay.
So sit back down and let the world keep spinnin’ ‘round
Half-way there. Winding mountain roads. Fleeting glimpses of the challenge to come.
Yesterday’s gone and today is waiting on you to show your face
Laced up. Last chance to pee. Leaving Yaris behind.

And it might not be the prettiest thing that you’ll ever see
Forest fires. Splintered trees, God’s power on display.
But it’s a new day
Ah, baby it’s a new day
The Oregon wilderness awaits.

And it might not look like a beautiful sunrise
But it’s a new day
Ah, baby it’s a new day
We’re ready for the challenge.

I’m a pilgrim soul
I’ve traveled far and come back home
And this land is hard and cold
for those who long to love
Dusty breezes. Blistering sun.
Following in the footsteps of a man returning home.
And I know it might seem
That the world is crumbling
Ancient volcano beneath our feet. Scrambling on what remains.
But it’s me and you dancin’ in the kitchen at 2am
And we’re still alive
Nourishment, energy, laughter beneath a tiny shade tree.

And it might not be the prettiest thing that you’ll ever see
But it’s a new day
Ah, baby it’s a new day
Snarling spire just above.

And it might not look like a beautiful sunrise
But it’s a new day
Ah, baby it’s a new day
Should we turn around now?

It’s the calm of the storm that comes blowing in
Fearful.
It’s the spring time sayin’ ‘I’m back again’
Determined.
The clouds roll back, cross the moonlight
80 feet to go.
Me and you, Love,
One step at a time.
Everything’s alright
9,184 feet.
Just layin’ in the rain with nowhere to go
Laughin’ and we’re spinnin’ and I hope that you
Remember this day for the rest of your life
Breathless.
Me and you, Love,
Everything’s gonna be alright
History recorded.

And it just might be the prettiest thing that you’ll ever see

It’s a new day
Time to descend.
Ah, baby it’s a new day
Stumble, slide, skurf.

If you look outside
To see a beautiful sunrise
It’s a new day
Summit gets smaller.
A new day
Steps get heavier.
It’s a new day
Will it ever end?

I’m gonna sing this song
Not far now…
To let you know that you’re not alone
Three friends and a Yaris.
And if you’re like me
Sprawled and together.
You’ll need hope, coffee and melody
Wasted and alive.
