[Intro]
One of the nice things about growing older is
Realizing that you can survive life's disappointments
And you also realize that
You cannot look to someone else for your happiness
Of course, it screws up the songs you can sing
You can't sing those dependent victim songs anymore
With the same conviction, you know?
For example, you can't sing
"I can be happy, I can be sad
I can be good or I can be bad
It all depends on you"
Can't do that, no, no
Another nice thing about growing older
Is that you finally begin to appreciate yourself, flaws and all
And, uh, this next song has taken me
I don't know how many hours on I don't know how many couches
To be able to sing and really mean it
[Verse 1]
On a clear day
Rise and look around you
And you'll see who you are
[Verse 2]
On a clear day
How it will astound you
That the glow of your being outshines every star
[Bridge]
You'll feel part of every mountain, sea, and shore
You can hear from far and near
A world you've never, ever heard before
[Verse 3]
And on a clear day
On that clear day
You can see forever and ever and ever
And evermore
[Outro]
Ladies and gentlemen, there'll be a brief intermission
