LET THE DAY BEGIN

Here's to the babies in a brand new world
Here's to the beauty of the stars
Here's to the travellers on the open road
Here's to the dreamers in the bars
Here's to the teachers in the crowded rooms
Here's to the workers in the fields
Here's to the preachers of the sacred words
Here's to the drivers at the wheel


Here's to you my little loves
With blessings from above
Now let the day begin
Here's to you my little loves
With blessings from above
Now let the day begin,let the day begin


Here's to the winners of the human race
Here's to the losers in the game
Here's to the soldiers of the bitter war
Here's to the wall that bears their name


Here's to you my little loves
With blessings from above
Now let the day begin
Here's to you my little loves
With blessings from above
Now let the day begin,Let the day begin,Let the day start.


Here's to the doctors and their healing work
Here's to the loved ones in their care
Here's to the strangers on the street tonight
Here's to the lonely everywhere
Here's to the widom from the mouths of babes
Here's to the lions in the cage
Here's to the struggles of the silent poor
Here's to the closing of the age


Here's to you my little loves
With blessings from above
Now let the day begin
Here's to you my little loves
With blessings from above
Now let the day begin
Let the day begin
Let the day start

Ahhh.. gotta love The Call

I know what you mean MadelynIris.

I listen to their albums often.
I always hear something new.
They remain one of my favorite bands.

I saw them once in Columbia S.C. back in the mid 80s.
Awesome concert that night.
Loud and clear sound.
Michael Been's vocals preached the message.
One of the best I have ever seen play a fretless bass.

The spiritual theme of their music was what caught my attention. Modern Romans was the first album I heard.

The Call, I think, is one of the most overlooked bands of recent memory. They should have been as big as U2. I remember Time magazine naming them one of the most talented bands of the 80s.

Don't know why it didn't happen for them.
