Eric Wainaina - Brand New Day Lyrics

See people that I've never met
As I walk in San Francisco
Seems we've nothing in common
But that's not true I know

Cause I ride the couch
I surf the bed
I want to live
Outside my head
Looks might betray me
Language can fail me
I'm telling you wake me
I need you to take me

To a brand new day
(Hey! Hey!)
Brand new day
(Hey! Hey!)
Brand new day
(Hey! Hey!)
Brand new day
(Hey! Hey!)

Sitting on the Underground
With people stopped in time
But I know that we're connected
Through this universal rhyme

Cause I ride the couch
I surf the bed
I want to live
Outside my head
Looks might betray me
Language can fail me
I'm telling you wake me
I need you to take me

To a brand new day
Hey! Hey!
Brand new day
Hey! Hey!
Brand new day
Hey! Hey!
Brand new day
Hey! Hey!

Check in to my hometown
People coming down
For the party on the streets
DJ's got em on dere feet
Hands are in the air
Nairobi to Times Square
No matter our race or faith
In music we feel no pain

We all ride the couch
We surf the bed
We all have to listen
To what's being said
Looks might betray you
Language can fail you
I'm hear to wake you
I'm here to take you

To a brand new day
Hey! Hey!
Brand new day
Hey! Hey!
Brand new day
Hey! Hey!
Brand new day
Hey! Hey!

(I ride the couch)
Brand new day
(I surf the bed)
Brand new day
(But I want to live)
Brand new day
(Outside her head)
Brand new day
(Looks might betray me)
Brand new day
(Language can fail me)
Brand new day
(I'm telling you wake me)
Brand new day
(I need you to take me)
To a brand new day
Hey! Hey!
