I'm fallin' just about as far as I'm gonna fall I've never been this slow before that I recall And I'm gettin' tired of people picking on me I'm not goin' down from here wait and see There's gonna be a new dawn and a new day From this moment on things are gonna go my way I'm gonna wear a new smile and a new face And then I'm goin' out and get back in the race [ guitar - harmonica ] Well the people been a walkin' on me way too long And the way I gotta figure I've been doin' it wrong So from now on I'm gonna look out from me I'm gonna do what I want and be what I want to be There's gonna be a new dawn... And then I'm goin' out and get back in the race And then I'm goin' out and get back in the race
