lyrics:
hello day
hello sunshine
hello blue sky
hello clouds

hello rain and
hello wind
hello thunder
rumbling loud

hello wonder
hello excitement
hello awe
hello gratitude

hello worry
hello impatience
hello indifference
hello feeling so rude

how shall i walk through this day
wear a smile with flashing eyes
shall i squint like a skeptic
seeing all the damage i despise

hello old warm memory
hello this one and only moment
hello anticipation
hello dream yet to come

hello old regret
hello buried sadness
hello wound and your scar
hello dark world where i'm from

hello love
hello inspiration
hello curiosity
hello to this breath

hello doubt
hello fear
hello hatred
hello death

how shall i walk through this day
how shall i greet each moment
how shall i offer something good
how shall i show gratitude

hello love
hello inspiration
hello curiosity
hello to this breath
hello to this breath

  • @EnormouslySmall
    This song expresses an almost childlike willingness to embrace everything that comes along. Perhaps we were wisest at the beginning. A fine reprise, Michael. I can understand this song's success, but you certainly don't lack for examples of songs that captured unique and beautiful things.
