[Verse 1]
Everybody look around
'Cause there's a reason to rejoice you see
Everybody come out
And let's commence to singing joyfully
[Diana Ross]
Everybody look up
And feel the hope that we've been waiting on
[All]
Everybody's glad
Because our silent fear and dread is gone
[Pre-Chorus]
Freedom, you see, has got our hearts singing so joyfully
Just look about, you owe it to yourself to check it out
[Chorus - 2x]
Can't you feel a brand new day?
Can't you feel a brand new day?
[Verse 2: Ted Ross]
Everybody be glad
Because the sun is shining just for us
[Diana Ross]
Everybody wake up
Into the morning, into happiness
[Michael Jackson]
Hello world
It's like a different way of livin' now
[Nipsey Russell]
And thank you world
[Diana Ross]
We always knew that we'd be free somehow
[Pre-Chorus 2]
In harmony, and show the world that we've got liberty
It's such a change, for us to live so independently
Freedom, you see, has got our hearts singing so joyfully
Just look about, you owe it to yourself to check it out
[Chorus]
Can't you feel a brand new day?
Can't you feel a brand new day?
[Verse 2: Diana Ross (All)]
Everybody be glad (be glad)
Because the sun is shining just for us (yes it is)
Everybody wake up (wake up)
Into the morning, into happiness (that's right)
Hello world, it's like a different way of living now
[Nipsey Russell]
Thank you world
[Diana Ross]
We always knew that we'd be free somehow
[Pre-Chorus 2]
In harmony, and show the world that we've got liberty
It's such a change, for us to live so independently
Freedom, you see, has got our hearts singing so joyfully
Just look about, you owe it to yourself to check it out
You owe it to yourself to check it out
[Chorus - 2x]
Can't you feel a brand new day?
Can't you feel a brand new day?
Everybody look around
'Cause there's a reason to rejoice you see
Everybody come out
And let's commence to singing joyfully
[Diana Ross]
Everybody look up
And feel the hope that we've been waiting on
[All]
Everybody's glad
Because our silent fear and dread is gone
[Pre-Chorus]
Freedom, you see, has got our hearts singing so joyfully
Just look about, you owe it to yourself to check it out
[Chorus - 2x]
Can't you feel a brand new day?
Can't you feel a brand new day?
