A New Day At Midnight Lyrics

Oh my world ain't never seen
A day so golden, earth so green
I put my face into the stream
And I might see what might've been

Oh my heart, how time must float
My feet that pass along the stone
I hardly recognize my home
All the paths had overgrown
The music and the laughter gone

Oh my heart, it never felt
So free of all the chains I built
All the pain and all the guilt
Vanished now, beneath the silk

I'm striding 'cross Orion's Belt

Oh my world
Oh my world
Oh my world

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I love this song so much. Just submitted a small correction regarding the line: "Vanished now, beneath the silk". It should be "silt", not 'silk'.
