I took a walk through the city one night

I saw some faces but I didn't want to be found

Her alley's juxtaposed with her lights shining so bright

That crowd camouflage ain't never let me down.

I took a drive through the country one night

Saw the river beds all dusty and dry

Her banks were parched and the heavens went dark

And the clouds they began to cry

This is what they said.

A new day's coming, a new day's coming, a new day's coming for us

But don't be sad, leave your past in the past

Let that new day wash all over us.

I took a trip to the back of my mind

And saw a man I didn't recognize

I know I got some bad coming, but I can't get hung up on that

Put my chips in and I let it ride

Take that ride.

A new day's coming, a new day's coming, a new day's coming for us

But make no mistake, yeah we've had some bad breaks

But a new day is bound to come for us

Baby, I'll get by.

A new day's coming, a new day's coming, a new day's coming for us

A new day's coming, a new day's coming, a new day's coming for us

But don't be sad, leave your worst in the past

Let that new day barrel over us.
