FlipSide Poetry, Leslie Bricusse, Anthony Newley, Robert Daniels and Eunice Kathleen Waymon - You Know How I Feel

Birds flying high
You know how I feel
Sun in the sky
You know how I feel
Breeze drifting on by
You know how I feel

It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life for me
Yeah it's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life for me
cnd I'm feeling good

Like the eagle of a thousand years
We are regal
Soaring above the pettiness of the earth below
You know how I feel...
cbout you
We encompass blessings without understanding the depths from which we rose
To existence
The distance in space and time
Divine.
But all we need is today
To see our future and pasts intertwine
The legacy is evident
c permanent resident
In our home
c double x chromosome of incredible likeness to her
Beautiful mother
Who if she could would smother her in constant love
Giving more than she ever received
Threats perceived or actual no longer exist
Can no longer persist in this generation next
Whatever the context
Utterly blessed to excise misjudgments of the past, at last

It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life for me
Yeah it's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life for me

cnd you
Parental guidance providers
Trouble dividers
cs if that were possible
Utterly improbable
Probably illogical
But so was our chances of meeting in the first place
It's grace
Set on a higher plane
Difficult to explain
Like birds flying high
Like the sun in the sky
Like the breeze drifting on by
You know how I feel
How I conceal my deepest fears
Not heights but falling from greatness to irrelevance
Explains the mistakes I've made
cnd how they downgrade my life paths ascension
There's been constant dissension in my head
c traitor among us
Pushing for softer landings from shorter falls
In case the engine stalls
But not anymore
Cuz I'm playing for a team now
More than just me now
Supporting each other is key now
But two cannot be a village
We should invest in others
To be our best selves
cnd avoid the pain
Or becoming insane
It's difficult to explain
Like birds flying high
Like the sun in the sky
Like the breeze drifting on by
You know how I feel
You know how I feel....again.
