New Day (Live from VH1 Storytellers)Alicia Keys

[Spoken Intro]
So it's a new day for me
And I've, you know, really been reflecting on that a lot
Just in my life, you know
I think that it's a new day for the world in so many ways
I mean, for me personally I've learned so many things
And I just really am kinda finding my center
Which feels really good, just finding my center
In regards to being the whole me
I think sometimes maybe we're like a portion of ourselves in a way
You know what I mean?
And I think I personally have been a portion of myself in a lot of ways for many years, just for different reasons, you know
But now, I feel like I've really stepped into my whole self
And so I'm proud to be in that place
So it's definitely a new day for me

So when I wrote this song
It was really about my own personal revolution, you know
Yeah
And it felt like a celebration, you know, 'cause it's like
When you find that place, that freedom
You gotta celebrate yourself, even in the smallest ways
And I realized when my son was born and I named him Egypt
I had no idea there was gonna be such a revolution in Egypt either, you know
So I found that it's really a revolution of the world in so many ways
And it's a new day for so many people
So, I made it feel good to say

[Chorus]
Party people say, party people say
Ayy, it's a new day, it's a new day
The world is getting ready, everybody ready, yeah
For a new day, for a new day
Celebrate and say, ayy ayy ayy ayy ayy ayy ayy ayy ayy
Ayy ayy ayy ayy ayy ayy ayy ayy ayy
Ayy ayy ayy ayy ayy ayy ayy ayy ayy

It's alright to feel however you want to
There's no limitation, no
If you love your life, let me see your hands up one time
Celebrate mine, 'cause I ain't gonna get no more
So we can do this all night
One time, everybody say ayy ayy oh (Oh oh)
There's a feeling that I got that I can't give up
Feeling in my heart that I can't get over
I know that it's coming let the sun come up
Tell me do you feel the same, everybody say

Take a look in my eyes, can't you see I'm ready?
Ayy, come along, let's get it, eh

All night and all day

Left to live it up, one life left to live it up

Feeling in my heart that I can't get over
