- Celine Dion - a New Day has Come - "Hush, Now, I see a light in the sky, It's almost blinding me, I can't believe I've been touched by an angel, With Love, Let the rain come down and wash away my tears, Let it feel my soul and drown my fears, let it shatter the walls for a new sun, A new day has come."
