Sat on a roof, named every star
Shed every bruise and showed every scar
Hope has its proof, your hand in mine
Singin', "Life has a beautiful, crazy design"
And time, it seemed to say
"Forget the world and its weight"
And here I just wanna stay
Amazing day, amazing day
Sat on a roof, named every star, and
Showed me a place where you can be who you are
And the view, the whole Milky Way
In your eyes, I drifted away
And in your arms, I just wanna sway
Amazing day, amazing day
Amazing day, amazing day
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, ooh
And I asked, "Can the birds in poetry chime?
And can there be breaks in the chaos sometimes?"
Oh, thanks, God must have heard when I prayed
'Cause now I always want to feel this way
Amazing day, amazing day
Amazing day, oh, amazing day
Yeah, today
