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 And I’m feeling good I’m feeling good Fish in the sea You know how I feel River running free You know how I feel Blossom on a 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, 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 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 It’s a new dawn It’s a new day It’s a new life It’s a new dawn It’s a new day It’s a new life It’s a new life For me And I’m feeling good I’m feeling good I feel so good I feel so good
