New Day

Some things in life are awesome to look forward to
such as a cookout with friends and family
or a trip to the mall for a fun-filled day of shopping
Everyone has something awesome to look forward to
mine happens to wanting to help my community

I need a new day
to turn this place around
A new day to
form a group that can live as one

A new day
to create something fun
getting rid of the anger
and the jealousy
Working to do better for my city

Mysteries to be put out on the table
Mysteries to be solved
Justice to be served
Families will no longer have to wonder why
nor will they have to cry

I need a new day
to do something amazing for my city
and something that makes me feel awesome inside
I need a new day
to help kids better themselves

We need a new day
to be ourselves
to share our talents
and reach our goals
living an awesome life

We need a new day
to move on from the grief
and sorrow
giving us a sense of hope
and courage to fight on

We need a new day
to get away from the name calling,
the putting down because of differences and
the bullying caused by discrimination
keeping kids from going home crying

We need a new day
to not have to worry
worry, "What's happening today"
"who are we saying bye to today"
Trying to keep the community positive

So if you're ever wondering
what's awesome in my life
it's being able to help my community
to become a better place to live
