G    F#m                       Em  C         D
When all the dark clouds roll away, and the sun
            G  D Dsus2
begins to shine.
G  F#m                   Em
I see my freedom from a-cross the way,
C       D                 G    D
and it comes right in on time.

Well it shines so bright and it gives so much light
And it comes from the sky above
Makes me feel so free
Makes me feel like me
And lights my life with love

Chorus:
        G                    D         Dsus4 D Dsus2
And it seems like, well, it feels like,
          G                   C
Well, it seems like, yes, it feels like,
    G          D C              G C G D
A brand new day,  a brand new day.

I was lost and double crossed
With my hands behind my back
I was longtime hurt and thrown in the dirt
Shoved out on the railroad track
I've been used, abused and so confused
And I didn't have nowhere to run
But I stood and looked
And my eyes got hooked
On that beautiful morning sun

Chorus:
Yes it seems like, yes it feels like
Yes it seems like, whoa yes it feels like
A brand new day
A brand new day, yeah, yeah

And the sun shines down all on the ground
Yeah and the grass is oh so green
And my heart is still and I've got the will
And I don't really feel so mean
Here it comes, here it comes
Here it comes right now
Till it comes right in on time
Well it eases me and it pleases me
And it satisfies my mind

Chorus:
And it seems like, yes it feels like
And it seems like, yes it feels like
A brand new day
A brand new day, yeah, yeah, yeah
A brand new day
