Can't you feel ... a Brand New Day?

This is a song that has been running through my head ever since I sat on the back porch and BBQ'd our hamburgers for dinner. It's from the musical 'The Wiz' and was produced by Quincy Jones. Keeping in mind what Sunny and I are achieving, the lyrics are quite apropos and really express the joy I feel.

Everybody look around
'Cause there's a reason to rejoice you see
Everybody come out
And let's commence to singing joyfully
Everybody look up
And feel the hope that we've been waiting for

Everybody's glad
Because our silent fear and dread is gone
Freedom, you see, has got our hearts singing so joyfully
Just look about
You owe it to yourself to check it out
Can't you feel a brand new day?

Everybody be glad
Because the sun is shining just for us
Everybody wake up
Into the morning into happiness

Hello world!
It's like a different way of living now
And thank you world
We always knew that we'd be free somehow
And show the world that we've got liberty

It's such a change
For us to live so independently
Freedom, you see, has got our hearts singing so joyfully
Just look about
You owe it to yourself to check it out
Can't you feel a brand new day?
