It's A New Day Lyrics

I went to sleep last night tired from the fight
I've been fightin' for tomorrow all my life yeah
I woke up this mornin' feelin' brand new
Cause the dreams that I've been dreamin' 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 been a long time comin'
Up the mountain kept runnin'
Songs of freedom kept hummin'
Channelin' Harriet Tubman, Kennedy, Lincoln, and King
We gotta manifest that dream
It feels like we're swimmin' up stream
It feels like I'm 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 mornin' feelin' alright
I've been fightin' for tomorrow all my life
Yeah, I woke up this mornin' feelin' brand new
Cause the dreams that I've been dreamin' 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'
Waitin' for this moment
It's been a long time prayin'
Prayin' for this moment
We've hoped for this moment
And now that we own it
For life I'm 'a hold it
And I won't let it go

This is for our 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 mornin' feelin' brand new
Cause the dreams that I've been dreamin' finally came true
Yeah, I woke up this mornin' feelin' alright
Cause we weren't fightin' for nothin'
And the soldiers weren't fightin' for nothin'
No Martin wasn't dreamin' for nothin'
And Lincoln didn't change it for nothin'
And children weren't cryin' for nothin'

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!
