Brand New Day [*]

It started up in the bigger cities
How can we be surprised
And she said, �He�s just doin� his thing�
We gotta put our heads together
We're doin' in a brand new way
And when Jeremiah woke me up this morning
And you have had your way
It�s a brand new day
We're doin' in a brand new way

Twenty million shadows stormin' at the gates
They�d never even seen

It�s a brand new day
Mama, how we're doin' in a brand new way
On a a brand new day
'Cause there�s somethin' in the air
And then the father hung up on the mother
Yeah, it�s a brand new day
Reflected in their eyes
All he took was the TV set"

We're doin' in a brand new way
Mama, it�s a brand new day
And then the sister picked up the extension
We're doin' in a brand new way
And the people began to smile at people

It's brand new way

We gotta fight for what we believe in
When the sun comes shinin� through
I was ready to live that dream
Doin' in a brand new way
It�s a brand new day
And it's spread to the smaller towns

And the twenty million tongues are shoutin� now
And you have had your way
And all the children began to sing
It's brand new way
It's only heard by a precious few
Mama, it�s a brand new day
We're doin' in a brand new way
But the years of night are gonna pass forever
Mama, it�s a brand new day
We're doin' in a brand new way

And see where we go from here

It's a brand new day
It�s a brand new day
With the image of their fallen kings
Mother called father on the telephone
She said, "The boy left home, naked this mornin�
Because she was upset
