On a Day Like Today Lyrics

(Today, to never come a day
On fire work it out
On the river to the morning, now.)

Free is all you gotta be
Dream dreams no one else can see
Sometimes ya wanna run away
But ya never know what might be comin' round your way
Ya ya ya

On a day like today
The whole world could change
The sun's gonna shine
Shine thru the rain
On a day like today
Ya never wanna see the sun go down
Ya never wanna see the sun go down

Somewhere - there's a place for you
I know that you believe it too
Sometimes if you wanna get away
All ya gotta know is what we got is here to stay
All the way

On a day like today - the whole world could change
The sun's gonna shine - shine through the rain
On a day like today - no one complains
Free to be pure - free to be sane
On a day like today
Ya never wanna see the sun go down
Ya never wanna see the sun go down

Free is all we gotta be
Dream dreams no one else can see
But ya never know what might be comin' for you and me
Ya it's gonna be

On a day like today

(Oh, learn to be a day like today
To came to live and happily ever after.)

In an interview, Bryan has said the following about this song.

It started from a track sent to me by Phil Thornalley. I was in Jamaica writing for that album, and it was the right sentiment to be singing at that time “…the whole world could change, the suns gonna shine, shine thru the rain…” It’s totally Jamaica, but it was also interesting as things for me had changed, and I was about to embark on a whole new live show with just a three-piece band, and even more daunting was my record company got out of the business and then the internet arrived."
