I dedicate
this song
to recession
depression
and unemployment
This song's
for you
Today's a new day
but there is
no sunshine
Nothing but clouds
and it's dark
in my heart
and it feels
like a cold night
Today's a new day
where are my
blue skies
where is the love
and the joy that
you promised me
you tell me
it's alright
I'll be honest
with you
I almost gave up
but a power that
I can't explain
fell from heaven
like a shower now
When I think
how much better
I'm gonna be
when this is over
I smile
even though
I hurt see I smile
I know
God is working
so I smile
Even though
I've been here
for a while
what you do
I smile
smile
it's so hard
to look up
when you've
been down
Sure would
hate to see
you give up now
You look
so much better
when you smile
so smile
Today's a new day
but there is
no sunshine
Nothing but clouds
and it's dark
in my heart
and it feels like
a cold night
Today's a new day
but tell me
where are my
blue skies
where is the love
and the joy that
you promised me
you tell me
it's alright
the truth is
I almost gave up
but a power that
I can't explain
the holy ghost power
yo
fell from heaven
like a shower now
I smile
even though
I hurt see I smile
I know
God is working
so I smile
Even though
I've been here
for a while
I smile
smile
it's so hard
to look up
when you've
been down
Sure would hate to
see you give up now
You look
so much better
when you smile
Smile
for me
Can you just smile
for me
Smile
for me
Can you just smile
for me
