New World Rising / Ocean Breakup Reprise

[Verse 1]
New dawn smiling down the old blue world
Can you feel it?
Like the first of spring
The bells are ringing out a little tune for you

[Verse 2]
Daylight, everyone hears the sound
Hey, Goodmornin'! (Good morning!) How you doin'?
Well, I'm doin' fine
It's nearly nine, I must be gone

[Chorus]
I see no sorrow now
Nobody has a care

[Verse 2]
Hey there, why don't you join me?
I'll be glad to know you
Take some time-out
Would you like to work or play
Or wander slowly through this bright new day

[Verse 3]
Everyone laughs, can't believe what's goin' on round here
New world risin', everybody kicked their blues away
Not for today, but evermore

[Chorus]
I see no sorrow now
Nobody has a care

[Verse 4]
New day smiling down on the world
Can you feel it?
Like the first of spring
The bells are ringing out a little tune for you
