It's been a long time waitin' Waiting for this moment It's been a long time praying Praying for this moment We hope for this moment And now that we own it For life I ma 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 Have 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 A new day It's a new day It's a new day!
