New World Order Lyrics - Curtis Mayfield

Darkness no longer, a child is born 

Mother shed tears of joy as baby test his lungs 

My daddy's not there where he ought to be 

Somewhere in Georgia, skinning and shooting craps on his knees 

Another victim born out here in the hood 

And based on statistics it really ain't all good 

Welfare takes the tab and daddy can't sign 

And it can't be seen, the family becomes a crime 

The hunt is on and brother you're the prey 

Serving time in jail, it just ain't the way 

I'm living so hard, baby, that my hair is gray 

We got to make a change, it's a brand new day 

A new world order, a brand new day 

A change of mind for the human race 

A new world order, a brand new day 

A change of mind for the human race 

Operation influx and it's on the way 

We've just marched a million plus the other day 

Look we all witnessed the sweat rolling down Ms Liberty's head 

She knows the sleeping giant is no longer sleeping dead 

Oh, what a fulfillment of prophecy 

Let us teach the children freedom's never been free 

It's okay to cry, go ahead and cry 

'Cause Jesus wept but hope and faith he kept 

It's a new day 

A new world order, a brand new day 

A change of mind for the human race 

A new world order, a brand new day 

A change of mind for the human race 

The die has been cast and there's no need to fear 

'Cause people, the answer to your prayers are here 

Sister Mary don't you weep, tell Martha not to moan 

We need the love and daddy's coming home 

There's no need to worry, the times dictate a plan 

Mother Earth's given birth to a brand new man 

Sister I know you're misunderstood 

But hold on to your man 'cause the future looks good 

It's a new day 

A new world order, a brand new day 

A change of mind for the human race 

A new world order, a brand new day 

A change of mind for the human race 

Beware of the lies and false prophecies 

We are many with eyes but don't all really see 

You must be merciful my friend to obtain the same 

So if you break the chain don't pass the blame 

We should say unto all and I'll say it again 

It's not just to win, shake a hand, make a friend 

We who are pure at heart somehow might see 

There's still light in the world, come rejoice with me 

It's a new day 

A new world order, a brand new day 

A change of mind for the human race 

A new world order, a brand new day 

A change of mind for the human race 

It's a new day, it's a new day 

It's a new day, it's a new day 

It's a new day 

Yes, Lord, it's a brand new day
