Birds flying high you know how I feel
 Sun 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
And I'm feeling good
 Fish in the sea you know how I feel
 River running free you know how I feel
 Blossom on the tree 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
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
 Stars when you shine you know how I feel
 Scent of the pine you know how I feel
Oh freedom is mine And I know how I feel
It's a new dawn It's a new day It's a new life For me
It's a new dawn It's a new day It's a new life For me
 And I'm feeling good
