Trails of sorrow: shortcuts that seem to lead nowhere,
I swore if I could find a way, I'd never turn around,
I found still water that I'd always heard and dreamed about,
And now I know which well to drink from.

I was only seventeen, my heart was bruised and fairly broken,
Some girl I thought was mine, but couldn't quite see eye to eye,
And now when things get rough, I know what got me through before,
I've found someone who'll never leave,
He's there to reassure me; every day's a new day.

I don't have to cry anymore,
Tears will fall down, but just for one night,
I don't have to cry anymore, 'cause I know I'll be fine in the morning light.

Those trails of sorrow seem so far away from me now,
It's hard to say why I was lost, with all those signs around,
Sometimes the dust from those old trails still gets into my eyes,
And then still water washes me; the words come back and I can see,
Every day's a new day.

I don't have to cry anymore,
Tears will fall down, but just for one night,
I don't have to cry anymore, 'cause I know I'll be fine in the morning light.

It's alright, cry yourself to sleep at night,
It's okay, He's here,
Here to say, "Every day's a new day."'

It's alright, cry yourself to sleep at night,
It's okay, He's here,
Here to say, "Every day's a new day."'

I don't have to cry anymore,
Tears will fall down, but just for one night,
I don't have to cry anymore, 'cause I know I'll be fine in the morning,
I don't have to cry anymore,
Tears will fall down, but just for one night,
I don't have to cry anymore, 'cause I know I'll be fine in the morning light.
