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 COME TRUE

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 GOTTA 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 ITS 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 COME TRUE

IT'S A NEW DAY

IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME WAITING
WAITING FOR THIS MOMENT
IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME PRAYING
PRAYING FOR THIS MOMENT
AND HOPE FOR THIS MOMENT
AND NOW THAT WE OWN IT
CLOSER 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 BEAUTIFUL AIN'T IT
WE DID IT FOR HER AND HIM AND HE AND SHE AND YOU AND ME TOGETHER

YEAH I WOKE UP THIS MORNING FEELING BRAND NEW
CAUSE THE DREAMS THAT I'VE BEEN DREAMING FINALLY COME TRUE
YEAH I WOKE UP THIS MORNING FEELING ALRIGHT
CAUSE WE WASNT FIGHTING FOR NOTHING
AND MALCOLM WASN'T FIGHTING FOR NOTHING
AND MARTIN WASN'T DREAMING FOR NOTHING
AND LINCOLN WASN'T TRYING FOR NOTHING
AND CHILDREN WASN'T CRYING FOR NOTHING
