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 running
Songs of freedom kept humming
Channeling Harriet Tubman

Kennedy, Lincoln, and King
We got to manifest that dream
It feels like I'm swimming upstream
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 morning
Feeling alright
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 a new day
It's a new day!

It's been a long time waiting
Waiting for this moment
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
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 U-nity,
For US and we
That's you and me together

I woke up this morning
Feeling brand new
The dreams that I've been dreaming
Finally came true
Yeah, 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
It's a new day
A new day
It's a new day
It's a new day
It's a new day!
