cynthia lin - new day - obama inauguration song

like so many people, i've been truly moved by the election of obama and the excitement surrounding the inauguration. i wrote this song in response to npr's recent 'home project song' challenge that asked songwriters to capture this moment of change. here's to our new president.


new day

lay your head down
i know you're weary
we're almost broken
it's been so dark for so long

but times are changing
the world has spoken
we can be better
we can be strong

there's a new day
on the horizon
i can see it clear as
the rising sun

there's a new wind
blowing our way
can you feel it?
it's the dawn of a brand new day

call your sister
talk to your brother
convince your mother
we still have reason to believe

embrace the dreamers
stand up for fighters and teachers
and dare to be
the change we seek

there's a new day
on the horizon
i can see it clear as
the rising sun

there's a new wind
blowing our way
can you feel it?
it's the dawn of a brand new day

i know
it's hard to hold on to hope
when we've fallen so far down the hole

i know
it feels strange to be moved by
the power of a million voices
calling for change
make a change

it is a new day
feeling a new way
we can be better and better and better

it is a new day
and i just cant wait
i know it's not too late
i know it's not too late

can you feel it?
hope is leading the way
it's the dawn of a brand new day
