(Verse 1) The alarm ain't rang, but my eyes open wide Pull on my boots and I step outside Pour that dark roast coffee right into my cup Watch the fog roll off as the world wakes up Screen door creaks, kids run out to play Barefoot in the grass at the break of day (Chorus) Down by the stream where the old beaver works Stacking up branches in the cool morning dirt Out in Elisabeth, Colorado dawn Where the pine trees glow and the day comes on A red-tail hawk screams high in the blue Birds singing songs like they always do As the golden sun breaks over the hill Lord, I’m just standing here, humbled and still Praising You for another brand new day. (Verse 2) There's a gentle breeze rustling through the trees Brings a sense of peace right down to my knees Hearing sweet laughter echo across the yard Makes it real easy to forget life's hard Take another sip while the day starts to warm Grateful for the calm right after the storm (Chorus) Down by the stream where the old beaver works Stacking up branches in the cool morning dirt Out in Elisabeth, Colorado dawn Where the pine trees glow and the day comes on A red-tail hawk screams high in the blue Birds singing songs like they always do As the golden sun breaks over the hill Lord, I’m just standing here, humbled and still Praising You for another brand new day. (Bridge) It’s the simple things that money can’t buy The woods, the water, and the open sky Every breath I take, every creature I see Is a little piece of heaven looking back at me (Guitar / Fiddle Solo) (Chorus) Down by the stream where the old beaver works Stacking up branches in the cool morning dirt Out in Elisabeth, Colorado dawn Where the pine trees glow and the day comes on A red-tail hawk screams high in the blue Birds singing songs like they always do As the golden sun breaks over the hill Lord, I’m just standing here, humbled and still Praising You for another brand new day. (Outro) Yeah, praising You for this brand new day… Acoustic guitar fades out with birds chirping
