The new day dawns,
And I am practicing my purpose once again.
It is fresh and it is fruitful if I win,
But if I lose,
Ooh,
I don't know.
I'll be tired,
but I will turn and I will go.
Only guessing 'til I get there,
Then I'll know.
Oh,
I will know.
And all the children walking home past the factories
Can see the light
That's shining in my window
As I write this song to you.
And all the cars
Running fast along the interstate
Can feel the love that radiates
Illuminating what I know is true.
All will be well,
Even after all the promises
You've broken to yourself.
All will be well,
You can ask me how
But only time will tell.
The winter's cold,
But the snow still lightly settles
On the trees.
And a mess is still a moment
I can seize until I know.
That all will be well,
Even though sometimes
This is hard to tell,
And the fine is
Just as frustrating as hell,
All will be well.
And all the children walking home past the factories
Can see the light
That's shining in my window
As I write this song to you.
And all the cars
Running fast along the interstate
Can feel the love that radiates
Illuminating what I know is true.
All will be well,
Even after all the promises
You've broken to yourself.
All will be well,
You can ask me how
But only time will tell.
You've got to
Keep it up,
and don't give up,
And chase you're dreams,
and you will find,
All in time.
And all the children walking home past the factories

And Gabe's voice, that too. Very smooth and relaxing.
To me the song speaks to the goodness in each of us and how even though things get rough and we make mistakes, everything will be alright. Very uplifting.
Beautiful song. I agree with hanabanan103 and seriesofcallouses.

To me, it's about a man who's trying to live his life for the Lord, but not sure if he's succeeding... though desperately hoping to know when he does.
"All the cars running fast along the Interstate, can feel the love that radiates, illuminating all I know is true..." This part seems to me like he's praying to be a light to the world, prayinig to be a means for God to show his love to whoever encounters this man.
I love this song... it makes so many great points. It's honest about the faith and the tough spots where God doesn't seem as present in life. This guy doesn't seem to have it together or all sorted out, and none of us do... that's God's job. That's why I love it; because he can be uncertain, yet still have the faith never to give up and follow Christ as best he can.
Beautiful song, and a fantastic tune ^^ A real winnner.
