Al Kooper Brand New Day Lyrics

Last night I had a dream that the world
Was changin’ by leaps & bounds
It started up in the bigger cities
Than 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
It’s a BRAND NEW DAY
Brand new way, BRAND NEW DAY

Ya 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 mornin’
All he took was the TV set
Than the sister picked up the extension
And she said “He’s just doin’ his thing...”
Than the father hung up on the mother
And the children began to sing It’s a BRAND NEW DAY
Brand new way, BRAND NEW DAY

We gotta put our heads together
And see where we go from there
We gotta fight for what we believe in
Cause there’s somethin in the air and it’s a
BRAND NEW DAY
Brand new way, BRAND NEW DAY

20 million shadows stormin at the gates
Now how can ya be surprised
With the image of the Fallen Four reflected in their eyes
And though 20 million tongues are shoutin’ now
Its only heard by a precious few
But the years of night will pass forever
When the sun comes shinin’ through on a
BRAND NEW DAY
Brand new way, BRAND NEW DAY
