The long night’s over, the moon touched down

A thin blanket of dew is softenin’ the ground

Theres a cool breeze cuttin’ through the mornin’ mist

A fresh breath of air from the good Lord’s lips

Run to the window, gonna look and see

There’s a blackbird sittin’ in a dogwood tree

Singin’ Do Da Ditta Da, do da doo

Do da ditta da dee

Yeah It’s a new day, a new day

Its a new day, a new day

Put your feet on the floor, it’s no time to rest

The wolf’s in the den and the hog’s in the nest, yes

No more waiting on the promise land

We’re gonna build this mansion with our own two hands

Don’t let them tell you it can’t be done

Let the truth be heard, the Gospel be sung

Its a new day, a new day

Its a new day, a new day

Its a new day, a new day

Its a new day, a new day

Oo child don’t hang your head

Child don’t hang your head

Wipe away your sleepy eyes

Wipe away your eyes

A story’s not been written yet

Though shadows fall there is hope every sunrise

Oh yeah

Its a new day, a new day

Its a new day, a new day

Its a new day, a new day

Its a new day, a new day

Well is its a new Ooo Ooo day

Its a new day, its a new day
