Al Kooper - Brand New Day lyrics
[Al Kooper - Brand New Day lyrics]
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 thingâ€
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
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 thingâ€
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
