Analysis of New Day
With little regard
Not afraid to betray
The new day begins
While the last fades away
With the rise of the sun
And with opening eyes
The new day moves forward
While the last day it dies
As we check off the tasks
Of the new day ahead
We will bury the last day
Choosing new day instead
As the hours of the new day
Move ever so fast
We make most of the new day
Hoping more than the last
When the new day is ending
And the last further passed
We will look towards the next day
When today will be last
