Feeling Good
Music and lyrics by Leslie Bricusse (1931-2021) and Anthony Newley (1931-1999); arranged by Dorothy Horn
Birds flyin' high, you know how I feel.
Sun in the sky, you know how I feel.
Breeze driftin' 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 a 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 how I feel.
Butterflies all havin' fun, you know how I feel.
Sleep in peace when day is done, 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.
Stars when you shine, you know how I feel.
Scent of the pine, you know how I feel.
Yeah, freedom is mine, 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.
Birds flyin' high, sun in the sky, breeze driftin' by, you know how I feel.
Fish in the sea, river so free, blossom on trees;
dragonfly, butterflies, stars that shine.
Yeah, freedom is mine, 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.
