Nina Simone: 'Feeling Good'

Birds flying high, you know how I feel.
Sun in the sky, you know how I feel.
Breeze 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 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 having 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 (a)mine, And I 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.

And I'm feeling good.
And I'm feeling good.
