Travis James Humphrey: Listen

• MP3 play whole song, hi-fi (broadband)

I didn’t do so good yesterday,

I was nice to my friend’s face, but then when I turned away, I was so unkind.

And I tried to justify,

I came up with a handful of reasons all to explain why, my betrayal was alright.

 

But in my heart I just felt wrong;

like my integrity was conspicuously gone.

But this is a new day; today is a new day,

and I’ve got the chance to be a better man … and I know I can.

Yeah, this is a new day; today is a new day;

Lord, give me the strength to live up to who I know I am … cuz this is a new day.

 

I watched the world, on the TV news,

and I could see there were so many, with so little to lose,

and so much to say.

But my life was warm and safe,

so I’d pretend not to hear the cries that suffering people made,

and I’d look the other way.

 

But in my heart I just felt wrong;

like my compassion was conspicuously gone.

But this is a new day; today is a new day,

and I’ve got the chance to be a better man … and I know I can.

Yeah, this is a new day; today is a new day;

Lord, give me the strength to live up to who I know I am … cuz this is a new day.

SOLO

But in my heart I just felt wrong;

like all my courage was conspicuously gone.

But this is a new day; today is a new day,

and I’ve got the chance to be a better man … and I know I can.

Yeah, this is a new day; today is a new day;

Lord, give me the strength to live up to who I know I am … cuz this is a new day.
