A New Day, Somewhere On Earth

Somewhere on earth, there is a new day

Somewhere on earth, people get paid

A new day has less than twenty four hours

Earth orbits around the sun 366.2499 days a year

Which brings hope, joy, love, and despair

The future encompasses several flairs

Of new days.  As long as there is life

There is a new day for the wife

To talk about. Tomorrow is of course a new day

However, people rarely talk about a new night

Because people fear darkness and dark sights

There is a new day somewhere in the universe

Only on earth, there is a new day

Only on earth, time walks, runs, and matters

Only on earth, there is a payday

Which means nothing in the stratosphere

There is no day. There is no fear

Everything is constant and linear

And everything is dead and near.
