New Day Lyrics

[Wyclef]

We're gonna take ya back now, come on

I like the way this is going down

Ladies and gents

Yo I'mma do this for the kids check it out

Here we go, yo

[Wyclef]

We don't need no education (yeah)

Says a young man sitting in class (yeah)

School is out 3 o'clock on the dot (yeah)

Beef with some thugs, he got shot (yeah)

Turn on your television (yeah)

Martin Luther King just had a dream (yeah)

Take this dream and apply it to your life (yeah)

Shorty's selling crack, is a talking job

[Wyclef]

To all my refugees, enough respect

To all my juveniles, enough respect

To all my war children, enough respect

Now Bono won't you sing the hook, come on

[Bono (Wyclef)]

Keep your head up

(Uh keep your head up)

Cause a new day's gonna come

(Every country got a ghetto, come on)

And look towards the sun

Some got the darkness all around

(Everybody sing this part right here)

[1 -Wyclef]

Mama, mama

You know you raised me with no father figure

I wanna take this time to thank you

Even though I'm doing Life

Alright

Mama, mama

You know you raised me with no father figure

And taken by machine gun trigger

Out for giving me life

[Wyclef]

Yo, yo turn the page ready the news today

People getting fired, some getting wild

Looting on the streets cause the dogs gotta eat

(Grrr!) By any means necessary

Turning over the hour glass

Gotta get it straight before it's too late

Cause I don't wanna be behind that gate

Now everybody sing the hook

[Bono (Wyclef)]

Keep your head up

(Your head up, your head up)

Cause a new day's gonna come

(For the new millennium)

And look towards the sun

Some got the darkness all around

(Everybody sing this part right here)

[Repeat 1]

[Wyclef]

My people in the front, everybody in the buck

Hey yo raise the roof up in the air, come on

And just raise the roof for all my people trying to eat

Stomp your feet on the floor come on and just stomp

Stomp, stomp, stomp

Introducing Bono, straight out of Dublin

[Bono (Wyclef)]

Midnight she's on the street, she can't sleep

She's afraid to dream

Ten years old, my Spanish rose

You see things you never should have seen

Midnight she's on the street, oh she can't sleep

She's afraid to dream

Ten years old, my Spanish rose

You see things you never should have seen

(Let me do the guitar solo right here)

(I want all you kids to stand right now, come on let me hear y'all)

[Bono & Children's Choir (Wyclef)]

Keep your head up

Cause a new day's gonna come

(Ha, ha)

And look towards the sun

Some got the darkness all around

(All my broke people sing this part right here)

[Repeat 1]

[Wyclef]

Hey, hey, hey, hey

Wyclef and Bono

Jerry Wonder in the back

I let the DJ cut the wax

Y'all need to stop it with the violence

True Refugee combination

Dublin, Brooklyn, New Jersey, ya hear

Trying to find a new year
