Brand New Day Lyrics

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)
A brand new day, yeah, yeah (a brand new day)

I was lost, 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)
A brand new day, yeah, yeah (a brand new day)

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)
A brand new day, yeah, yeah (a brand new day)
Brand new day (seems like a brand new day)
Whoa, whoa (feels like a brand new day)
(Seems like a brand new day)
Hey, hey
(Feels like a brand new day)
(Seems like a brand new day)
(Feels like a brand new day)
