New Day Lyrics - Bono

We're gonna take ya back now, come on 

I like the way this is going down 

Ladies and gents 

Yo I'mma do this for the kids check it out 

Here we go, yo 

(Wyclef) 

We don't need no education (yeah) 

Says a young man sitting in class (yeah) 

School is out 3 o'clock on the dot (yeah) 

Beef with some thugs, he got shot (yeah) 

Turn on your television (yeah) 

Martin Luther King just had a dream (yeah) 

Take this dream and apply it to your life (yeah) 

Shorty's selling crack, is a talking job

To all my refugees, enough respect 

To all my juveniles, enough respect 

To all my war children, enough respect 

Now Bono won't you sing the hook, come on 

(Bono)(Wyclef) 

Keep your head up 

(Uh keep your head up) 

Cause a new day's gonna come 

(Every country got a ghetto, come on) 

And look towards the sun 

Some got the darkness all around 

(Everybody sing this part right here)

Mama, mama 

You know you raised me with no father figure 

I wanna take this time to thank you 

For giving me Life 

Alright 

Mama, mama 

You know you raised me with no father figure 

And taken by machine gun trigger 

Out for giving me life 

(Wyclef) 

Yo, yo turn the page ready the news today 

People getting fired, some getting wild 

Looting on the streets cause the dogs gotta eat 

(Grrr!) By any means necessary 

Turning over the hour glass 

Gotta get it straight before it's too late 

Cause I don't wanna be behind that gate 

Now everybody sing the hook 

(Bono)(Wyclef) 

Keep your head up 

(Your head up, your head up) 

Cause a new day's gonna come 

(For the new millennium) 

And look towards the sun 

Some got the darkness all around 

(Everybody sing this part right here) 

Repeat 1 

(Wyclef) 

My people in the front, everybody in the buck 

Hey yo raise the roof up in the air, come on 

And just raise the roof for all my people trying to eat 

Stomp your feet on the floor come on and just stomp 

Stomp, stomp, stomp 

Introducing Bono, straight out of Dublin 

(Bono)(Wyclef) 

Midnight she's on the street, she can't sleep 

She's afraid to dream 

Ten years old, my Spanish rose 

You see things you never should have seen 

Midnight she's on the street, oh she can't sleep 

She's afraid to dream 

Ten years old, my Spanish rose 

You see things you never should have seen 

(Let me do the guitar solo right here) 

(I want all you kids to stand right now, come on let me hear y'all) 

(Bono & Children's Choir)(Wyclef) 

Keep your head up 

Cause a new day's gonna come 

(Ha, ha) 

And look towards the sun 

Some got the darkness all around 

(All my broke people sing this part right here) 

Repeat 1 

(Wyclef)
