A New Day Has Come


We fly my younger son from Maine to Georgia this morning to begin his freshman year of college.  With mixed emotions, one of my longtime favorite songs, one that deeply resonates with my life with sons, plays in my mind……



I was waiting for so long
For a miracle to come
Everyone told me to be strong
Home, home and don’t shed a tear


Through the darkness and good times
I knew I’d make it through
And the world thought I had it all
But I… was… waiting… for you

Hush now, I see a light in the sky
Oh, it’s almost blinding me
I can’t believe I’ve been touched by an angel with love

Let the rain come down and wash away my tears
Let it fill my soul and drown my fears
Let it shatter the walls for a new sun
A new day has …..come

Where it was dark, now there’s light
Where there was pain, now there’s joy
Where there was weakness, I’ve found my strength
All… in… the eyes of a boy

Hush now, I see a light in the sky
Oh, it’s almost blinding me
I can’t believe I’ve been touched by an angel with love

Let the rain come down 
and wash away my tears
Let it fill my soul and drown my fears
Let it shatter the walls for a new sun
A new day has …..come
