As my own boss, I keep odd hours.  I work early and late.  I find myself many mornings waiting for businesses to open so I may begin calls and errands.  I usually fill the time doing administrative work and balancing the checkboooks.  Like now, I’m waiting on delivery of the February Horizons Magazine, but I’m really waiting for daylight.  As soon as the sun comes up, I’m going to move my car out of the garage to prepare for the mailing process. I always seem to be waiting on daybreak.  The metaphor is not lost on me.  Yes, I do appreciate being in The Now and I make the most of it, but I’ve always got my third eye open seeking a brighter way.

Daybreak By Barry Manilow
-Words and Music by Barry Manilow and Adrienne Anderson
I’m singin’ to the world, it’s time we let the spirit come in
Let it come on in
I’m singin’ to the world, everybody’s caught in the spin
Look at where we’ve been
We’ve been runnin’ around, year after year
Blinded with pride, blinded with fear

But it’s daybreak, if you wanna believe
It can be daybreak, ain’t no time to grieve
Said it’s daybreak if you’ll only believe
And let it shine, shine, shine
All around the world (sing it to the world, sing, sing)

Singin’ to the world, what’s the point in puttin’ it down?
There’s so much love to share
I’m singin’ to the world, don’t you see it all comes around?
The feeling’s everywhere
We’ve been closin’ our eyes, day after day
Covered in clouds, losin’ our way

Hey, but it’s daybreak
If you wanna believe, it can be daybreak
Ain’t no time to grieve
Said it’s daybreak, if you’ll only believe
And let it shine, shine, shine
All around the world (gotta sing, sing it to the world)

Yes, and it’s daybreak
If you wanna believe, it can be daybreak
Ain’t no time to grieve
Said it’s daybreak, if you’ll only believe
And let it shine, shine, shine
All around the world (let’s sing, sing it to the world)
Let it shine, shine, shine
All around the world (sing it to the world, sing, sing)
(sing it to the world, sing, sing)
Said it’s day-ee-ay-ee-aybreak
Yes, and it’s daybreak
If you wanna believe, it can be daybreak
Ain’t no time to grieve
Said it’s daybreak, if you’ll only believe
And let it shine, shine, shine
All around the world (let’s sing, sing it to the world)
C’mon and let it shine, shine, shine
All around the world (sing it to the world, sing, sing)

Around the world (sing it to the world, sing, sing to the world!)
