Feeling Good - Nina Simone

Birds flying high You know how I feel Sun in the sky You know how I feel Reeds 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 in the trees 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 out having fun You know what I mean Sleep in peace when day is done 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 Yeah, freedom is mine! And you know how I feel It's a new dawn It's a new day It's a new life For me Freer than you... Freer than you I'm feeling good

This song was, eh, I was told to sing by Miriam Makeba And she is my dear friend And it is a prayer Those of you who are fans of hers will remember this song Westwind blow ye gentle Over the shores of yesterday My sun is brown and over Here within my heart they lay, they lay Westwind with your wisdom Gather all the young for me Black cloud hanging over Nest your bosom strong and free Got each gallon water is plane Got each gallon water is plane 'Cos I am the soil from which they came I am the soil from which they came So Westwind with your splendor Take my people by the hand Spread your glory sunshine off And unify my promised land Unify us don't divide us, unify us don't divide us Unify us don't divide us, unify us don't divide us Unify us don't divide us, unify us don't divide us Unify us don't divide us Westwind with your splendor Take my people by the hand Spread your glory sunshine out Unify my promised land Unify my promised land Unify my promised land
