"New Day" by Joe Melendrez
(click to listen)

Verse 1
Woke up this morning
Tired but excited
A new fire has been ignited
Signs of the times
Have come to find me
It’s my job to do revisin’
To sow seeds that reap
Kindness
I’ve been enlightened
By the one who come to feed the hungry
Create something from nothing
My something was
Food for the masses
And yes
I eat it with a passion
Free for a year
who knew it could happen
Rice beans mild with cheese
1/2 chicken 1/2 steak with sour cream
so many combinations , in line I have patients
but when I sit down
its like I lounge on vacation
but  my gotta get it now hour now is vacant
 
Bridge
It’s a new Day
A new day
A new day (repeat)
 
Chorus
It’s a new day
I got to say thanks
For all
I’ve been given I’m really feeling blessed now (repeat)
 
As we share this communion
Let us pray in union
In thanks for god’s grace of a new day
A new way
A new faith
A new hope in words we say (repeat)
  
Verse 2
I cant believe
This year has come to an end
I try to block it out but it plays again
And I’ll say amen
Because It was all worth it
Good times, laughs and cries
I learned God’s work is  truly working
Through his children growing
Slowly unfolding
in life’s journey
I’m grateful, but am still unworthy
We had a good run
And we’re not done
Cuz it’s all about the way you live 
So please don’t stop prayin’ kids
Dreams are what you make of it
God hears what our hearts are say-in
I’ll forever be tattooed
With this year of free food
But now it’s back to school
Back to reality
Gathering and Challenging
my faith mentality
 
Chorus
