The Promise of a New Day
Paula Abdul Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tides are turning bringing winds of change
Why do I feel this way?
The promise of a new day
The promise, the promise of a new day
As through time the earth moves under my feet
One step closer to make love complete
The promise of a new day
The promise, the promise of a new day
The promise, the promise of a new day
The promise, the promise of a new day
The promise
And so time over time
What will change the world?
No one knows (no one knows)
So the only promise is a day to live
To give and share with one another
See the wisdom from mistakes in our past
Hear the younger generation ask
"Why do I feel this way?"
The promise, of a new day
The promise, the promise of a new day (ohh)
The promise, the promise of a new day (a new day)
The promise, the promise of a new day
The promise, the promise of a new day
The promise, the promise of a new day
The promise, the promise of a new day (we can)
We can make it better, baby, hey
So time over time
What will change the world?
No one knows (no one knows)
So the only promise is a day to live
To give and share with one another
Eagle's calling and he's calling your name
Tides are turning bringing winds of change
Why do I feel this way?
The promise of a new day
The promise, the promise of a new day (as through time)
As through time the earth moves under my feet
One step closer to make love complete
What has the final say? (Whoa)
The promise of a new day
The promise, the promise of a new day (oh, promise me)
The promise, the promise of a new day (a new day)
The promise, the promise of a new day (a new day)
The promise, the promise of a new day
See the wisdom from mistakes in our past
Hear the younger generation ask
"What has the final say?"
The promise of a new day
The promise, the promise of a new day
Eagle's calling and he's calling your name
Tides are turning bringing winds of change
Why do I feel this way?
The promise of a new day
The promise, the promise of a new day
The promise, the promise of a new day (ooh)
The promise, the promise of a new day (why do I feel this way?)
The promise, the promise of a new day (hey)
The promise, the promise of a new day (eagle's calling and he's calling your name)
The promise, the promise of a new day (tides are turning bringing winds of change)
The promise, the promise of a new day
The promise, the promise of a new day (as through time the earth moves under my feet)
The promise, the promise of a new day (ohh)
The promise, the promise of a new day (one step closer to make love complete)
The promise, the promise of a new day
The lyrics of Paula Abdul's song "The Promise of a New Day" encourages individuals to embrace change and look forward to a better future. The eagle's call symbolizes the need for change, and the tides represent the unpredictable nature of change. Abdul asks the question "why do I feel this way?" which signifies the uncertainty that comes with change. However, the promise of a new day encourages individuals to embrace change, have hope, and believe that things can get better.
The line "as through time the earth moves under my feet, one step closer to make love complete" reflects the idea of taking small steps towards love and unity. This line emphasizes that change is a continuous process that cannot be achieved in a day, but only through taking small steps every day towards its achievement. The last line "What has the final say? The promise of a new day" emphasizes the power of hope and positivity.

This song immediately brings me back to the time when it was all about saving the rain forest, save the environment. Fern Gully came out about the same time. Love this era❤️

This song is bittersweet for me. It came out at the time my best friends passed away in a house fire when I was only 7 years old. It hit me really hard.. The day after the fire, I went to what was left of the cabin to pay my respects, and I looked down in the dirt and saw a My Little Pony. I picked it up, and I still have it to this day. It has burn marks from the fire on it.. I'm looking at it right now. It still smells like the fire and the cabin... Rest in peace Sapphire, Bon, and Sky Blue... <3
