Brand New Day

Last night I had a dream that the world was changin'
 Changin' by leaps and bounds
 It started up in the bigger cities
 And it's spread to the smaller towns
 And the people began to smile at people
 They'd never even seen
 And when Jeremiah woke me up this morning
 I was ready to live that dream
 It's a brand new day
 It's brand new way
 Yeah, it's a brand new day
 It's brand new way
 Mother called father on the telephone
 Because she was upset
 She said, "The boy left home, naked this mornin'
 All he took was the TV set"
 And then the sister picked up the extension
 And she said, ‽He's just doin' his thingâ€
 And then the father hung up on the mother
 And all the children began to sing
 It's a brand new day
 Doin' in a brand new way
 Mama, it's a brand new day
 We're doin' in a brand new way
 We gotta put our heads together
 And see where we go from here
 We gotta fight for what we believe in
 'Cause there's somethin' in the air
 It's a brand new day
 We're doin' in a brand new way
 Mama, it's a brand new day
 We're doin' in a brand new way
 Twenty million shadows stormin' at the gates
 How can we be surprised
 With the image of their fallen kings
 Reflected in their eyes
 And the twenty million tongues are shoutin' now
 It's only heard by a precious few
 But the years of night are gonna pass forever
 When the sun comes shinin' through
 On a a brand new day
 We're doin' in a brand new way
 It's a brand new day
 We're doin' in a brand new way
 Mama, it's a brand new day
 And you have had your way
 Mama, how we're doin' in a brand new way
 And you have had your way
 It's a brand new day
 We're doin' in a brand new way
 We're gonna do it our way
