When all the dark clouds roll away And the sun begins to shine I see my freedom from across the way And it comes right in on time Well it shines so bright and it gives so much light And it comes from the sky above Make me feel so free make me feel like me And it lights my life with love And it seems like (seems like) and it feels like (feels like) And it seems like (seems like), yes it feels like (feels like) A brand new day A brand new day, yeah, yeah I was lost and double crossed With my hands behind my back I was longtime hurt and thrown in the dirt Shoved out on the railroad track I've been used, abused and so confused And I didn't have nowhere to run But I stood and looked And my eyes got hooked On that beautiful morning sun And it seems like (seems like) and it feels like (feels like) And it seems like (seems like), yes it feels like (feels like) A brand new day A brand new day, yeah, yeah And the sun shines down all on the ground Yeah and the grass is oh so green And my heart is still and I've got the will And I don't really feel so mean Here it comes, here it comes Here it comes right now And it comes right in on time Well it eases me and it pleases me And it satisfies my mind And it seems like (seems like) yes it feels like (feels like) And it seems like (seems like), yes it feels like (feels like) A brand new day A brand new day, yeah, yeah, brand new day
