| [Verse 1]
|
| I took a walk through the city one night
|
| Saw some faces but I didn't want to be found
|
| Her alley's juxtaposed with her lights shinin' so bright
|
| That crowd camouflage ain't never let me down
|
| I took a drive through the country one night
|
| Saw the river beds all dusty and dry
|
| Her banks were parched and the heavens went dark
|
| And the clouds, they began to cry
|
| Here's what they said
|
| [Chorus]
|
| A new day's comin', a new day's comin'
|
| A new day's comin' for us
|
| But don't be sad, leave your past in the past
|
| Let that new day wash all over us
|
| [Verse 2]
|
| I took a trip to the back of my mind
|
| And saw a man I didn't recognize
|
| I know I got some bad comin'
|
| I can't get hung up on that
|
| Just put my chips in and let it ride
|
| Take that ride
|
| [Chorus]
|
| A new day's comin', a new day's comin'
|
| A new day's comin' for us
|
| But make no mistake
|
| Yeah, we've had some bad breaks
|
| But that new day is bound to come for us
|
| Baby, I'll get by
|
| [Chorus]
|
| A new day's comin', a new day's comin'
|
| A new day's comin' for us
|
| And a new day's comin', a new day's comin'
|
| A new day's comin' for us
|
| But don't be sad, leave your worst in the past
|
| Let that new day barrel over us |
