I don't need to write a book, 'bout the chances that I took
All the hearts I had to break, I had to live with my mistakes
All the ghosts that haunt my past, all the dreams that didn't last
Burning candles at both ends, no way to pretend
Watching bad luck take away all my friends
As a boy I never cried, till the day my mama died
After that I, I left my home, San Francisco all alone
With Eddie, Bill and Dave all gone, thought I'd put 'em in my song
And maybe to you, well, it don't mean a thing, it's about my life that I wanna sing
Hey, hey, I'm feeling okay. Hey, hey, it's a brand new day, you know
I'm taking it slow, I've gotta say, listen now
Hey, hey, I'm feeling alright. I'm feeling alright tonight
My memories, they linger on, some are big, and some are strong
Some are happy, some are sad, some are good, and some were bad
Things that can move you and bring you to tears, minutes then hours and days turn to years
I've turned the page, I've had kids of my own, the time that I cherish being at home
Hey, hey, I'm feeling okay. Hey, hey, it's a brand new day, you know
I'm taking it slow, I've gotta say, listen now
Hey, hey, I'm feeling alright, I'm feeling alright tonight
I'm feeling okay, yeah. It's a brand new day
Brand new day, it's alright now, yeah
Gonna be a beautiful night, a beautiful, beautiful night
So many cities, airports and hotels, yhey'll knock you out, count to 10, ring the bell
It's a God-given gift I can sing, I can write, man I've been doing this all of my life
Hey, hey, I'm feeling okay. Hey, hey, it's a brand new day, you know
I'm taking it slow, so slow, now listen here
Hey, hey, I'm feeling alright. I'm feeling alright tonight

It's a brand new day, it's a brand new day
