Oday is a new day Today is the first I've made up my mind Today is a new day And by tomorrow it's gon' be alright When I was born my mama kept me warm She put all my worries to sleep And when I was three the world seemed to be A playground where I could be free You see I grew up some more, got knocked to the floor This great world brought tears to my eyes Now we are here faced with the fear But my courage just won't let me hide Today is a new day Today is the first day I've made up my mind Today is a new day And by tomorrow I'm gon' make this right And by tomorrow it's gon' be alright I kicked down my walls and watched it all fall Them troubles were too hard for me I decided to call on the best of them all And now them struggles have drowned in the sea Yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah Today is a new day Today is the first day I've made up my mind Today is a new day And by tomorrow I'm gon' make this right And by tomorrow we gon' be alright I say tomorrow it's gon' be alright By tomorrow it's gon' be alright I can see us winning And I can see things better I can see the light at the end of the tunnel See I believe in you and you believe in me Ain't nothing we can do, the future you can see It's brighter, brighter by the day When you light up the way Today is a new day Today is the first day I've made up my mind Today is a new day And by tomorrow I'm gon' make this right And by tomorrow it's gon' be alright
