I took a walk through the city one night Saw some faces, but I didn't want to be found Her alley's juxtaposed with her lights shining so bright That crowd camuflage ain't never let me down I took a drive through the country one night Saw the rivers beds all dust and dry Her banks were parched and heavens went dark And the clouds they began to cry This is what they said A new days coming, a new days coming A new days coming for us But don't be sad, leave your past in the past Let the new days coming wash all over us I took a trip to the back of my mind And saw a man I didn't recognize I know, I got some bad coming But I can't hang up on that Just put my chips in and let it ride Take that ride A new days coming, a new days coming A new days coming for us But make no mistake, we've had some bad breaks But a new days coming for us Baby, we'll get by A new days coming for us But don't be sad, leave your worst in the past Let that new days barrel over us
