On the cusp of a new year and I am so struck and humbled by challenges and opportunties that the perfect words to express my current state elude me. So with apologies to Nina Simone for a feeble attempt to capture her joyous ad libs, this song expresses my feelings exactly.
Happy New Year! May we all continue feeling good in 2011! Sing, Nina!
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, yeah,
It’s a new dawn,
It’s a new day,
It’s a new life for me, woooohoooooooooooooooo
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
It’s a new dawn
It’s a new day
It’s a new life
For me,
And I’m feeling good
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
It’s a new dawn
It’s a new day
It’s a new life
For me, dubbanomanelowbadayayayalawldubmaynya
dubbanomanelowbadayayayalawldubmaynya
And I’m feeling good
R O C K T H E N E W Y E A R!
