Al Kooper Brand New Day
Last night I had a dream that the world
Was changinÂ’ by leaps & bounds
It started up in the bigger cities
Than it spread to the smaller towns
The people began to smile at people
That theyÂ’d never even seen
And when Jeremiah woke me up
I was ready to live that dream
ItÂ’s a BRAND NEW DAY
Brand new way, BRAND NEW DAY
Ya know the mother called the father on the telephone
She cried My God IÂ’m so upset
She said the boy left home naked this morninÂ’
All he took was the TV set
Than the sister picked up the extension
And she said “He’s just doin’ his thing...”
Than the father hung up on the mother
And the children began to sing
ItÂ’s a BRAND NEW DAY
Brand new way, BRAND NEW DAY
We gotta put our heads together
And see where we go from there
We gotta fight for what we believe in
Cause thereÂ’s somethin in the air and itÂ’s a
BRAND NEW DAY
Brand new way, BRAND NEW DAY
20 million shadows stormin at the gates
Now how can ya be surprised
With the image of the Fallen Four reflected in their eyes
And though 20 million tongues are shoutinÂ’ now
Its only heard by a precious few
But the years of night will pass forever
When the sun comes shininÂ’ through on a
BRAND NEW DAY
Brand new way, BRAND NEW DAY
