Feeling Good

Birds flying high; you know how I feel

Sun in the sky;  you know how I feel

Breeze drifting 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 having 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 

It’s a new dawn; 

it’s a new day,

It’s a new life for me

and I’m feeling good
