Lyrically, “Beautiful Day” is about setting aside differences and appreciating the beauty of being alive. Sonically, it is an acoustic-guitar-led pop song with indie and folk influences.
[Verse 1]
Gonna wash the dust off my soul
Gonna listen to some rock 'n' roll
No cares, come what may
I'm making a beautiful day
Gonna drive my car to the sea
Swim out far
'Cause I believe that the waves
Will wash the grey away
I'm making a beautiful day
[Pre-Chorus]
But let me hear you say
[Chorus]
Oh, oh-oh, my, my
I'm learning to fly
Hey, hey, what's that you're saying?
Let's not forget we're alive
[Verse 2]
Gonna climb that hill behind my house
See what this place is all about
'Cause from above it all
You can't help but say
It's gonna be a beautiful day
It's gonna be a beautiful day
[Pre-Chorus]
But let me hear you say
[Chorus]
Oh, oh-oh, my, my
I'm learning to fly
Hey, hey, what's that you're saying?
Let's not forget we're alive
[Bridge]
Gonna turn my enemies into friends
What's broken gets stronger
When it mends
When we all come together
This song will play
We'll sing, it's a beautiful day
And that's gonna be my beautiful day
[Chorus]
Oh, oh, my, my
I'm learning to fly
Hey, hey, what's that you're saying?
Let's not forget we're alive (That we're alive)
