Welcome the Day
Beginning at the magical moment just before the sun appears over the horizon, this song builds with a message of positivity and hope, making the most of everything a new day brings. Your choir will love singing the exciting bridge, which combines with the chorus towards the end of the song as a hidden surprise. With an optional solo for verse 1 this song is a terrific concert opener.
Lyrics
There's a golden glow
There's a hint of newness in the air
A feeling of something yet to come
You can watch it grow
As the night is fading
A new day has begun
​
Look up, look around
Everything is shining
Can you see the colours
Painted in the sky
Listen to the sound
Everything is waking
A new day has begun
​
So lift your voice and sing with me
See the wonder of possibility
Make a choice, don't throw it away
The time is now to welcome the day
​
Open your eyes, see what's waiting for you
Take a deep breath
and let the sun shine through
The moment is now
It's time to light the fuse of possibility
The future's unwritten and your story's untold
Adventures are on their way
The time is now to welcome the day
