Last night a man came by
He said you haven't lived
Until you've tried to be a
Caged bird let himself break free
He said he don't mean to criticize
He's just a passerby with young man's eyes
Said when he was my age
He looked just like me
Young man don't you know
It's ain't where you been
But where you have to go and
Fi fi gotta say goodbye
To the road that I've been traveling
To the load that I've been carrying
It's a new day a new day
Yes it is
Fi fi gotta say hello
To the places that I'm gonna go
The great unknown and the open road
It's a new day a new day
Yes it is
Love lost, left, I cried but through it all
Held my head high
'Cause these memories have made me who I am
I don't care what's on the other side
Of this Mountainhigh that I'm about to climb
But those old man's words keep
Playing in my head
Young man don't you know
It ain't where you've been
But where you have to go and
Fi fi gotta say goodbye
To the road that I've been traveling
To the load that I've been carrying
It's a new day a new day
Yes it is
Fi fi gotta say hello
To the places that I'm gonna go
The great unknown and the open road
It's a new day a new day
A new day a new day
Yes it is
To the lives we leave behind
To the love we look too find
Can you feel the new day come and yeah yeah
Fi fi gotta say goodbye
To the road that I've been traveling
To the load that I've been carrying
It's a new day a new day
Yes it is
Fi fi gotta say hello
To the places that I'm gonna go
The great unknown and the open road
It's a new day a new day
A new day a new day
A new day a new day
Yes it is
