Here are the lyrics to "Brand New Day" from the original Broadway production:
Brand new day, brand new day Everything's gonna be alright Brand new day, brand new day I'm gonna make it through the night
I've been feeling down, feeling blue But I'm gonna shake it off, I'm gonna get through I've been feeling down, feeling low But I'm gonna rise above, I'm gonna let it go
Brand new day, brand new day Everything's gonna be alright Brand new day, brand new day I'm gonna make it through the night
I'm gonna take a deep breath, I'm gonna let it go I'm gonna find my way, I'm gonna make it grow I'm gonna take a step forward, I'm gonna make it real I'm gonna find my way, I'm gonna make it feel
Brand new day, brand new day Everything's gonna be alright Brand new day, brand new day I'm gonna make it through the night
The song has become a classic of American musical theater and is often performed in schools and community productions of "The Wiz".
