Here's where they run!
It's a new day, It's a new day It's a new day, It's a new day
It's been a long time coming Up the mountain kept running
Songs of freedom kept humming Channel and Harriet Tubman
Kennedy Lincoln and King We gotta manifest that dream
It feels like we're swimming upstream It feels like we're stuck in between
A rock and a hard place We've been through the hardest
And lived through the darkest days If you would not have made it this far
Well then hey, we can make it on it And they said no we can
Remember it's you and me together I woke up this morning
Feeling alright I've been fighting for tomorrow
All my life, yeah I woke up this morning
Feeling brand new Cause the dreams that I've been dreaming
Have finally come true It's a new day, It's a new day
It's a new day, It's a new day It's a new day
It's a new day, It's a new day
It's been a long time waiting Waiting for this moment
It's been a long time praying Craying for this moment
We hope for this moment And now that we own it
For life, I'mma hold it And I won't let it go
It's for our fathers, our brothers Our friends who fought for freedom
Our sisters, our mothers Who died for us to be in this moment
Stop and cherish this moment Stop and cherish this time
It's time for you, Nittie For us and we
That's you and me together
I woke up this morning Feeling brand new
Cause the dreams that I've been dreaming
Finally came true, yeah I woke up this morning
Feeling alright Cause we weren't fighting for nothing
And the focus was fighting for nothing
No more than was dreaming for nothing
And Lincoln didn't change it for nothing
And children weren't crying for nothing
It's a new day It's a new day
It's a new day New day
It's a new day It's a new day
It's a new day
