Feelin' Good
Sophie B. Hawkins Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Bird flyin' high
You know how I feel
Sun in the sky
You know how I feel
Breeze drifting by
You know how I feel

It's a new dawn
A new day
A new life
For me feelin' good

Hey there fish in the sea
You know how I feel
River runnin' free
You know how I feel
Blossom on the tree
You know how I feel

It's a new dawn
A new day
A new life
For me feelin' good

Dragonfly out in the sun
You know what I mean
Butterflies all having fun
You know what I mean
Sleep in peace when day is done
That's what I mean
And this whole world
Is a new world
And a bold world for me

Do it
Do it
Do it
Do it
Stars when ya shine
You know how I feel
Scent of the pine
You know how I feel
Freedom is mine
And I know how I feel
It's a new dawn
A new day
A new life
For me
Haaa-I feel good
I feel good




I feel good
I feel good
