IT'S A NEW DAY

I WENT TO SLEEP LAST NIGHT
TIRED FROM THE FIGHT
I'VE BEEN FIGHTING FOR TOMORROW ALL MY LIFE
YEAH I WOKE UP THIS MORNING FEELING BRAND NEW
CAUSE THE DREAMS THAT I'VE BEEN DREAMING HAS 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 COMING
UP THE MOUNTAIN KEPT RUNING
SONGS OF FREEDOM KEPT HUMMING
CHANNELING HARRIET TUBMAN
KENNEDY LINCOLN AND KING
WE GOTTA MANIFEST THAT DREAM
IT FEELS LIKE IM SWIMMING UPSTREAM
IT FEELS LIKE IM STUCK IN BETWEEN
A ROCK AND A HARD PLACE WEVE 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 CANT
AND WE SAID YES WE CAN
REMEMBER IT'S YOU AND ME TOGETHER

CLOSER I'M GONNA HOLD IT
AND I WON'T LET IT GO
