Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sun up in the sky, you know how I feel
Breeze driftin' on by, you know how I feel
It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life for me, yeah
It's a new dawn
A new life for me, ooh
And I'm feeling good
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Fish in the sea, you know how I feel
River running free, you know how I feel
Blossom on the trees, you know how I feel
It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life for me
And I'm feeling good
Dragonfly out in the sun, you know what I mean, don't you know?
Butterflies all havin' fun, you know what I mean
Sleep in peace when day is done, that's what I mean
And this old world is a new world
And a bold world, for me
Oh yeah, oh, yeah, yeah
Stars when you shine, you know how I feel
Scent of the pine, oh, you know how I feel
Oh, freedom is mine
That's how I feel, yeah
It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life for me
And I'm feeling good
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Feeling good, oh
