Lyrics

A Brighter Day
By John Nicholson

(Verse 1)
[Walking down the road, feeling the sun on my face
The clouds are parting ways, a new day to embrace
Whistling a tune, with a skip in my stride
I know in my heart, it’s the turning of the tide

(Chorus)
Sunshine on the horizon, chasing away the gray
A gentle breeze whispers, everything will be okay
With hope in my heart, I'll dance through the storm
Sunshine on the horizon, a brand new morn

(Verse 2)
Birds singing in harmony, a symphony in the air
Nature's beauty surrounds me, without a single care
The world feels alive, like rolling streams
I believe in the magic, of second chances and dreams

(Chorus)
Sunshine on the horizon, chasing away the gray
A gentle breeze whispers, everything will be okay
With hope in my heart, I'll dance through the storm
Sunshine on the horizon, a brand new morn

(Bridge)
Through the darkest night, I found my way
Now I see the light, shining brighter every day
No more looking back, only forward I will go
With the sun on my face, my spirit aglow

(Chorus)
Sunshine on the horizon, chasing away the gray
A gentle breeze whispers, everything will be okay
With hope in my heart, I'll dance through the storm
Sunshine on the horizon, a brand new morn.

I closed my eyes and pictured myself under the shade of something palmy on a beach on the Big Island. What a lovely calming tune. A great collaboration, sweet!

Ahhhhh, this brought my blood pressure down. I find Linda's voice so kind and comforting, and these lyrics are a perfect fit. The melody of the chorus is pleasantly addictive. Yes this is a great one to share with a group, such a peaceful respite of a song. Nice work, both of you!

Needed this one this morning! Lovely, comforting treatment of uplifiting words - and I'm reminded to appreciate the Florida nature that surrounds me. That "gentle breeze whispers" line really resonates. Thanks to both of you for this one!

I like the personification of nature! There's such hope in those lines. I like the bouncy feel to it all. And resolve to be happy: "I believe in the magic, of second chances and dreams". Good vocal delivery and playing too. Charming collab!

Perfect song for a guitalele. Sunny lyrics and delivery make for an uplifting listen. I like "The world feels alive, like rolling streams." I also believe in the magic!

A "cheery" song? Are those allowed? How does one write one...? ;-)

Very nice "cheery" lyrics @coolparadiso --and a lovely, lovely vocal over it. Beautiful collaboration, you two!
