Birds flying high,
You know how I feel.
Sun in the sky,
You know how I feel.
Reeds drifting 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!
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 having 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.
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 for me.
And I'm feeling good!
