A new dawn

To some it's just another day, but to me it's a whole to year! In the words of Nina Simone, "It's a new dawn, It's a new day, It's a new life," and the older I get the more I realize that good health is all that matters. Be good to yourselves and others, enjoy the year ahead, and try to find beauty in everyday things.

Birds flying high you know how I feel

Sun in the sky you know how I feel

Breeze driftin' on by you know how I feel

It's a new dawn

It's a new day

It's a new life

For me

And I'm feeling good

Fish in the sea you know how I feel

River running free you know how I feel

Blossom on the tree you know how I feel

Dragonfly out in the sun you know what I mean, don't you know

Butterflies all havin' fun you know what I mean

Sleep in peace when day is done

That's what I mean

And this old world is a new world

And a bold world

For me

Stars when you shine you know how I feel

Scent of the pine you know how I feel

Oh freedom is mine

And I know how I feel

— Nina Simone
