New Day

I know the sun is gonna come right back up and shine
Yesterday was just the worst
Every single minute hurt
I didn't see the cracks till it all came falling apart
I woke with so much confidence
But by noon I had nothing left
And I fell asleep picking up pieces of my broken heart
But then the sun came right back up again
Smilin' on my face
And I said hey, today's a new day
I'm gonna take a walk down a sunny street
And smile at everyone on my way
'Cause hey, today's a new day
Yesterday it knocked me down
All my problems weighed a thousand pounds
If I could I'd go back and change everything
Yeah, yesterday has come and gone
And even though it all went wrong
Here I am still standin' on my feet
Yeah because the sun came right back up again
Shinin' on my face
And I said hey, today's a new day
I'm gonna take a walk down a sunny street
And smile at everyone on my way
'Cause hey, today's a new day
Yeah (yeah)
Alright (alright)
Hey, today's a new day
Yeah (yeah)
Alright (alright)
Listen
We could say we're sorry
Forgive and let the scars heal
For all the things we didn't quite
Get right, the first time
I think life's a dance
Set to the music of a second chance
Come on and take my hand, take my hand
Let's dance, come on
Woo!
I know the sun came right back up again
And shine
And I'll take a walk down a sunny street
And smile at everybody and say
Hey, today's a new day
Come on, sing it with
Today's a new day
Yeah (yeah)
Alright (alright)
Hey, today's a new day
Yeah (yeah)
Alright (alright)
Hey, today's a new day
