Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Living on my guard (Guarded)
Wind is on my neck (Fearless)
Sun is on my face (Courage)
Beautiful day without you
[Verse 2]
Like rays of gold in all this decay
How can I forget the pain?
[Verse 3]
Living on my guard (Guarded)
Wind is on my neck (Fearless)
Sun is on my face (Courage)
Beautiful day without you
[Verse 4]
Feelin' spoiled in this world
I'm fighting beliefs, now can I
[Verse 5]
I know
My tragedy
[Verse 6]
Notion took a bow
Still I wonder how
Morning after rain
Clear away the pain
[Verse 7]
Then after all, when all are gone
It's plain to see just who we are
In light of hate, the way we talk
Enacting shame, causing harm
Defend yourself and keep your guard
We realize we belong apart
'Cause beyond ties
We've got ways of knowin'
[Verse 8]
Living on my guard (Guarded)
Wind is on my neck (Fearless)
Sun is on my face (Courage)
Beautiful day without you
[Verse 9]
Like rays of gold in all this decay
How can I forget the pain?
[Verse 10]
Living on my guard (Guarded)
Wind is on my neck (Fearless)
Sun is on my face (Courage)
Beautiful day without you
[Verse 11]
Feelin' spoiled in this world
I'm fighting beliefs, now can I
[Verse 12]
When I'm alone, and all are gone
The painted leaves unto the sun
In light of God, I see myself
Improving things, oh, every day
The open sky, the breathing stars
Will leave me calm in a world apart
'Cause in these times, there's no way of knowin'
[Verse 13]
Living on my guard (Guarded)
Wind is on my neck (Fearless)
Sun is on my face (Courage)
Beautiful day without you
[Verse 14]
Like rays of gold in all this decay
How can I forget the pain?
[Verse 15]
Living on my guard (Guarded)
Wind is on my neck (Fearless)
Sun is on my face (Courage)
Beautiful day without you
[Verse 16]
Still unspoiled, feeling refined
This beautiful day is a sign
