[Verse 1]
I took a walk through the city one night
Saw some faces but I didn't want to be found
Her alley's juxtaposed with her lights shinin' so bright
That crowd camouflage ain't never let me down
I took a drive through the country one night
Saw the river beds all dusty and dry
Her banks were parched and the heavens went dark
And the clouds, they began to cry
Here's what they said

[Chorus]
A new day's comin', a new day's comin'
A new day's comin' for us
But don't be sad, leave your past in the past
Let that new day wash all over us

[Verse 2]
I took a trip to the back of my mind
And saw a man I didn't recognize
I know I got some bad comin'
I can't get hung up on that
Just put my chips in and let it ride
Take that ride

[Chorus]
A new day's comin', a new day's comin'
A new day's comin' for us
But make no mistake
Yeah, we've had some bad breaks
But that new day is bound to come for us
Baby, I'll get by
[Chorus]
A new day's comin', a new day's comin'
A new day's comin' for us
And a new day's comin', a new day's comin'
A new day's comin' for us
But don't be sad, leave your worst in the past
Let that new day barrel over us
