Brand New Day - Della Reese

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
