You are the new day You are the new day I will love you more than me and more than yesterday If you can but prove to me you are the new day Send the sun in time for dawn Let the birds all hail the morning Love of life will urge me say you are the new day When I lay me down at night knowing we must pay Thoughts occur that this night might stay yesterday Thoughts that we as humans small could slow worlds and end it all lie around me where they fall before the new day One more day when time is running out for everyone Like a breath I knew would come I reach for the new day Hope is my philosophy Just needs days in which to be Love of life means hope for me borne on a new day You are the new day  less

Mariotti”, Perugia. the school choir itself has, over the years, gone from strength to strength despite the need for constant renewal caused by the inevitable “turnover” as new students took the places of those who left.
