lyrics

There’s a frog outside my window
In a tiny pond alone
It croaks all night until the day
But I wasn’t sleeping anyway
Its faith is just amazing
No one answers, yet still it calls
And at last another frog turns up
And they fill the pond with tadpoles
Chorus:
They’re singing:
You have a choice
So what do you say
Will you dance down the street
Or be dragged all the way
You might think you’re lonely
But baby it’s just a brand new day

There are tadpoles outside my window
In a solstice ‘tween tadpole and frog
Two legs then four, their tails disappear
But they don’t seem to feel any fear
Chorus:
They’re singing:
You have a choice
So what do you say
Will you dance down the street
Or be dragged all the way
You might think you’re dying
But baby it’s just a brand new day

Tadpole, to frog, to tadpole again
The seasons together make one
The cycles spread out from the earth as it spins
To the planets circling the sun
Take heart, they sing, on the blackest of days
Who knows where you are on the wheel
Maybe one day you will look back and say
Those bad times made the good times more real

There’s a frog outside my window
In a tiny pond alone
But I know for sure it will be all right
So I turn and sleep through the night, singing:

Chorus:
I have a choice
I know what to say
Rather dance down the street
Than be dragged all the way
And when the night is over
It’s a brand new day
A brand new day
