Al Kooper - Brand New Day lyrics

rate me

Last night I had a dream that the world

Was changing by leaps and bounds

It started up in the bigger cities

Than it spread to the smaller towns

The people began to smile at people

That they’d never even seen

And when Jeremiah woke me up

I was ready to live that dream

Well, it’s a brand new day

Brand new way, brand new day

Give it to me, alright

You know the mother called the father on the telephone

She cried, "My God I’m so upset"

She said the boy left home naked this morning

All he took was the TV set

Than the sister picked up the extension

And she said, “He’s just doing his thing”

Than the father hung up on the mother

And the children began to sing

Well, it’s a brand new day, yes

A brand new way, brand new day

We gotta put our heads together

And see where we go from there

We gotta fight for what we believe in

'Cause there’s something in the air

And it’s a brand new day, that's right

Brand new way, brand new day

I can feel it growing stronger every minute now

Twenty million shadows storming at the gates

Now how can you be surprised?

With the image of the fallen four reflected in their eyes

And though twenty million tongues are shouting now

It's only heard by a precious few

But the years of night will pass forever

When the sun comes shining through

On a brand new day

Brand new way, yes, a brand new day

Hey people, you know that it's a brand new day

Brand new way, brand new way you're walking

Brand new day, yes, a brand new way

Go ahead now

And it's alright, yes, it's alright

And it's alright now, it's alright

And it's alright, yes, it's alright

And it's alright
