New Dawn, smiling down the old blue world
Can you feel it, like the first of Spring
The bells are ringing out a little tune for you

Daylight, everyone hears the sound
Hey, Goodmornin’, how you doin’, well I’m doin’ fine
It’s nearly nine I must be gone

I see no sorrow now
Nobody has a care

Hey there, why don’t you join me I’ll be glad to know you
Take some time out, would you like to work or play
Or wander slowly through this bright new day
Everyone laughs, can’t believe what’s goin’ on round here
New World Risin’, everybody kicked their blues away
Not for today but evermore

I see no sorrow now
Nobody has a care

New Day, smiling down on the world
Can you feel it, like the first of Spring
The bells are ringing out a little tune for you
