Feeling Good lyrics – Nina Simone
Songwriters: LESLIE BRICUSSE, ANTHONY NEWLEYBirds flying high you know how I feel
Sun in the sky you know how I feel
Breeze driftin’ on by you know how I feel(refrain:)x2
It’s a new dawn
It’s a new day
It’s a new life
For me
And I’m feeling goodFish in the sea you know how I feel
River running free you know how I feel
Blossom on the tree you know how I feel(refrain)
Dragonfly out in the sun you know what I mean, don’t you know
Butterflies all havin’ fun you know what I mean
Sleep in peace when day is done
That’s what I meanAnd this old world is a new world
And a bold world
For meStars when you shine you know how I feel
Scent of the pine you know how I feel
Oh freedom is mine
And I know how I feel(refrain)
