Story Behind The Song
This song was inspired by the daily ritual of turning to the right of the bed to open the curtains, keeping in mind the importance of gratitude for living. It plays off of the idea that every day is a "gift" and needs to be unwrapped with the opening of the curtains, and like a gift, you never quite know what will be inside.

Lyrics
Lie recumbent retire each night
Thankful for my soft bed cloud-like
Cogitate just where I'll go
Drift away into realms unknown
Morning comes look for clues of the day
Premonitions of gray and rain
Whir of wet splashing rubber tires
Weathered metal coin is the sky
Turn aside and commence this rote
Day to day sacred ritual
Roll back curtains like theatre show
Reach out and unwrap the day
What external traits make a day
Halt the right the create your fate
Sleep achieved clearness of dreams
Taxing strife rendered unforeseen
Each passing day we lives a mystery
A delicate gift to reveal
This is my favorite day ever lived
I never want it to end
Turn aside and commence this rote
Day to day sacred ritual
Roll back curtains like theatre show
Reach out and unwrap the day
