brand new day

I have a brand new day waiting for me

I think it holds my destiny

yesterday's gone, tomorrow's not here

so I'll trust whatever shall appear

whatever happens, I know it's okay

because I am in a brand new day

it's a brand new day and I'm alive

doing what it takes to survive

I do my best, I do my chores

and some days I do even more

but lately I'm a child at play

rejoicing in this brand new day

          for so long, my days contained the blues

          now today I finally know I get to choose

it's a brand new day and I am at peace

for once, the voices have declined to speak

and I will see what I've worked for so long

me and life, we're going to get along

for the first time, I get the right-of-way

and it happens on this brand new day
