lyrics

The New Dawn
Bm7 E7 Am7 D7
I know how to move on
And get along and sing with my brothers

I know how to write songs
Share these skills and work well with others

I know that it won’t be long
‘Til we celebrate in the arms of each other

We finally exist where we’ve gone
Now we’ve got the chance to dance on our Mother Earth

Gm7
You can feel the funky rhythms
Come on let’s funk all night
You can feel these funky rhythms now
So come on let’s funk all night

D B7 G F#7
We’re taking our stride
Now it’s our time
It’s a gift to be alive
It’s our time, our time, our time, it’s yours and mine

F#m7 F#m7 D7 C#7
Truth’s what you find
When you’re inclined
To find the fate of things
And make it fine

E7 D#7 G7 F#7 C7 B7

Bm7 E7 Am7 D7
Been waiting for this all life long
This window we have to connect with each other

No one can tell me it’s wrong
To believe that we grow when we work close together

I know that it’s time we get strong
The strength that we have we enrich in each other

I’m looking at the new dawn
It awaits the awakening of sisters and brothers

Gm7
You can feel the changes coming
You can feel its changes time
I can feel this change is coming now
Come on let’s change this right

D B7 G F#7
We’re taking our stride
Now it’s our time
It’s a gift to be alive
It’s our time, our time, our time, it’s yours and mine

F#m7 F#m7 D7 C#7
Truth’s what you find
When you’re inclined
To find the fate of things
And make it fine

E7 D#7 G7 F#7 C7 B7
