Lyrics
On a clear day
Rise and look around you
And you'll see who you are
On a clear day
How it will astound you?
That the glow of your being outshines every star
You'll feel part of every mountain, sea and shore
You can hear from far and near
A world you've never heard before
And on a clear day
On that clear day
You can see forever
And ever more
You'll feel part of every mountain, sea and shore
You can hear from far and near
A world you've never heard before
And on a clear day
On that clear day
You can see forever
And ever and ever and ever more
