Lyrics
Hey, it’s a brand new day, that’s what you’d say, that’s what you’d say
You do what nobody can do quite like you, quite like you
Life is good, life is fine
We misunderstood, we’re only human
Now the jury’s out on this heart of mine
Are we walking free or are we doing time?
Take that thread of joy before it dies, before it dies
Behold the unravelling before your eyes, before your eyes
Life is good, life is fine
We misunderstood, we’re only human
When the truth comes out and the past unwinds
Are we walking free or are we doing time?
That day when the hammer falls won’t mean a thing, won’t mean a thing
I crave where the beauty stays, and the mountains rise and the forest sings
Life is good, life is fine
We misunderstood, we’re only human
Now the truth is out, and the past unwinds
Are we walking free?
Celebrate the new day dawning
Watch the eagle fly
Celebrate the tide is turning
Let your spirit rise
Hey, it’s a brand new day, that’s what you’d say, that’s what you’d say
You do what nobody can do quite like you, quite like you
