Brand New Day Lyrics by The Staple Singers

The Complete Stax/Volt Soul Singles, Vol. 2: 1968-1971

0

[Verse 1]
Last night, I had a dream that the world
Was changing by leaps and bounds
It started up in the bigger cities
And it spread to the smaller towns
The people began to smile at people
That they'd never even seen
And when Jeremiah woke me up
I was ready to live that dream
[Chorus]
Well, it's a brand new day
Brand new way, brand new day
[Verse 2]
You know the mother called the father on the telephone
She cried: "My God, I'm so upset"
She said the boy left home naked this morning
All he took was the TV set
Then, the sister picked up the extension
And she said: "He's just doin' his thing"
Then, the father hung up on the mother
And the children began to sing
[Chorus]
It's a brand new day
A brand new way (Oh yeah)
Brand new day
Brand new way
[Bridge]
We gotta put our heads together
And see where we go from there
We gotta fight for what we believe in
'Cause there's something in the air
[Chorus]
And it's a brand new day
Brand new way
Brand new day
Brand new way
[Verse 3]
Twenty million shadows storming at the gates
How can you be surprised?
With the image of the fallen four reflected in their eyes
And, though twenty million tongues are shouting now
It's only heard by a precious few
But the years of night will pass forever
When the sun comes shining through
[Chorus]
On a brand new day
Brand new way
A brand new day
Oh yeah, brand new way
It's a brand new day
A brand new way
A brand new way
Oh yeah, a brand new way
Oh yeah a brand new day
Yeah, a brand new day
I want you to know
But I'm talkin' on by
You better check yourself
Now, hands together, now
Let's get back together
Like we supposed to do
Oh, a brand new day
A brand new way
Brand new day
Brand new way
A brand new way of walkin'
A brand new way of talkin'
Got a brand new way of livin'
A brand new way
Brand new day
Time to love now
Gonna climb the rope
Gonna do this better
Like it's supposed to be
Oh, a brand new day
