here's a straight answer

[fledgist]

the final step approaches that's now clear
what's done is over and the bell will ring
comes a new morning and a different air

nothing can happen before we're aware
yet when it comes we seem to feel a sting
the final step approaches that's now clear

so much to worry over so much to care
but still there's time for a single final fling
comes a new morning and a different air

we've run the numbers identified what's fair
we'll run affairs with more than a shoestring
the final step approaches that's now clear

there's never time simply to stop and stare
the sunrise offers something new to bring
comes a new morning and a different air

we turn to hope rejecting all despair
now heart and mind will rejoice and sing
the final step approaches that's now clear
comes a new morning and a different air
