Lyrics
The New Day
The sea is calm and easy
The dangers have let go
and the sun shines with a promise
On the immigrants from Europe
In the land of milk and honey
The clouds sweep across the sky
What will the future hold?
What will this new life be for people who only knew poverty?
We hear the seagulls screaming
Lower New York Bay
Will it be a new beginning?
Are they welcoming us to stay?
With my hand upon the bible
I promised you a home of our own
To work and dream and prosper
and see our children grow
Under a brighter sun
———————————————————
I’ll see you there tomorrow
Where the river joins the sea
and we will be together
and our roots will plough the ground beneath
Two souls like bird and arrow
Fly out the window of a dream
and we will sing together
and flow like feathers on this wind
Until the sun goes down
—————————————————————
Wade into the water
Take in the morning sun
Run out of the shadows
And into the the tall grass and the meadows
You have a new life
And it feels right
Don’t you worry about a thing
You have a new life
And it feels right
This day’s got everything
This day’s got everything
This day’s got everything
