It's a New Day

It's a new day

It's a new day

It's a new day

It's a new day

It's been a long time coming

Up the mountain kept runnin'

Souls of freedom kept hummin'

Channeling Harriet Tubman

Kennedy, Lincoln, and King

We gotta invest in that dream

It feels like we're swimming upstream

It feels like we're stuck in between

A rock and a hard place

We've been through the heartaches

And lived through the darkest days

If you and I made it this far

Well then hey, we can make it all the way

And they said no we can't

And we said yes we can

Remember it's you and me together

I woke up this morning

Feeling alright

I've been fightin' for tomorrow

All my life

Yea, I woke up this morning

Feeling brand new

'Cause the dreams that I've been dreaming

Have finally came true

It's a new day

It's a new day

It's a new day

It's a new day

It's a new day

It's a new day

It's a new day

It's been a long time waitin'

Waiting for this moment

Spent a long time praying

Praying for this moment

We hope for this moment

And now that we own it

For life I will hold it

And I won't let it go

It's for fathers, our brothers

Our friends who fought for freedom

Our sisters, our mothers

Who died for us to be in this moment

Stop and cherish this moment

Stop and cherish this time

It's time for unity

For us and we

That's you and me together

I woke up this morning

Feeling brand new

'Cause the dreams that I've been dreaming

Finally came true

Yea, I woke up this morning

Feeling alright

'Cause we weren't fighting for nothing

And the soldiers weren't fighting for nothing

No, Martin wasn't dreaming for nothing

And Lincoln didn't change it for nothing

And children weren't crying for nothing

It's a new day

It's a new day

It's a new day

A new day

It's a new day

It's a new day

It's a new day
