Last year before the summer heat
January came to me
Said "It's time to get a move on, kid
'Cause you gotta stay ahead of the weather"
What did you mean, I still don't know
All these winds and tides and autumn clouds
Seems too much to say
Speak as such forevers
A life was never easy
A never ending series of
Those desert roads that never meet
Their promised destinations
Weary pioneers that choose
Promised land and ruby shoes
Just click your heels together
'Cause you gotta stay ahead of the weather
These are the beautiful days
These are the beautiful days
'Cause all things change and all things grow
And all things ebb and all things flow
But when we get there, you will know
That you can't stay under the weather
'Cause all things feel and all things float
And if things change they still might grow
And when we get there, you will know
That you gotta stay ahead of the weather
When we get there
The lion will come down from the mountain
When we get there
We will all be a ward of the order of the tortoise
Now you feel
Everything
I felt the walls are moving in
This heavy kind like sunshine
The morning after storms have come
To try and claim the weather
A broken glass on roads will shine
As bright as any diamonds
When our sunlight gets a chance to burn
Away this stormy weather
These are the beautiful days
These are the beautiful days
'Cause all things change and all things grow
And all things ebb and all things flow
And when we get there, you will know
That you can't stay under the weather
'Cause all things feel and all things float
And if things change they still might grow
And when we get there, you will know
That you gotta stay ahead of the weather
These are the beautiful days
These are the beautiful days
These are the beautiful days
These are the beautiful days
