Written as part of a "rock opera" that I created back in the early 80's, this song is simply saying that each morning we can wake up and make changes to our lives where they need to be changed. That there is a world out there and a place for us to live good and make the choices that are right and just.

Brand New Day (1981)
written by James Buckley

I've got to open my eyes, and see what the world has waiting for you
Get outta this rut, Face yourself, you surely have nothing to lose

Can I be as good as I know I can be (should be)
Lord knows I can't find my identity
I've got to make a choice, It's a brand new day

I never make my own bed, It doesn't matter cause you just may never come back
And all the things in my head, So confused, you can't seem to get it untracked

This morning could be a new start for me (could be)
But I'm not quite sure what I wanna be
I've got to make a choice, It's a brand new day

I'm just a man and I'm so scared, Get no respect, cause no one cares
And its not fair to be, In a state like me

This morning could be a new start for me (could be)
But I'm not quite sure what I wanna be
I've got to make a choice
Yes, I've got to make a choice
I've got to make a choice, It's a brand new day
