Eagle's calling and he's calling your name.
Tides are turning bringing winds of change.
Why do I feel this way?
The promise of a new day.
The promise, the promise of a new day.
 
As thru time the earth moves under my feet.
One step closer to make love complete.
What has the final say?
The promise of a new day.
The promise, the promise of a new day.
The promise, the promise of a new day.
The promise, the promise of a new day.
The promise. 
And so time over time what will change the world, 
no one knows. (no one knows.)
 
So the only promise is a day to live, 
to give and share with one another.
See the wisdom from mistakes in our past.
Hear the younger generation ask,
"Why do I feel this way?"
The promise, of a new day
The promise, the promise of a new day.
The promise, the promise of a new day.
The promise, the promise of a new day.
The promise, the promise of a new day.
The promise. 
We can, we can make it better baby, yeah.
 
And so time over time.  
What will change the world, no one knows. (no one knows.)
So the only promise is a day to live, 
to give and share with one another.
 
Eagle's calling and he's calling your name.
Tides are turning bringing winds of change.
Why do I feel this way?
The promise of a new day.
The promise, the promise of a new day.
 
As thru time the earth moves under my feet.
One step closer to make love complete.
What has the final say?
The promise of a new day.
The promise, the promise of a new day.
The promise, the promise of a new day.
The promise, the promise of a new day.
 
The promise, the promise of a new day.
See the wisdom from mistakes in our past.
Hear the younger generation ask,
"What has the final say?"
The promise of a new day.
The promise, the promise of a new day.
 
The promise, the promise of a new day.
The promise, the promise of a new day.
