Birds flying high, you know how I feel
Sun in the sky, you know how I feel
Reeds 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
And I'm feeling good

Fish in the sea, you know how I feel
River running free, you know how I feel
Blossom in 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

Dragonfly out in the sun, you know what I mean
Butterflies all havin' fun, you know what I mean
Sleep in peace when the day is done, that's what I mean

And this old world
Is a new world
And a bold world
For me
And I'm feeling good

Stars when you shine, you know how I feel
Scent of a pine, you know how I feel
Freedom is mine, and 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
