Feeling Good

Written by Anthony Newley and Leslie Bricusse for the 1965 musical The Roar of the Greasepaint—the Smell of the Crowd. Often wrongly accredited to Nina Simone, whose version of the song is the most well-known one. (Feeling Good )

[Verse 1] Birds flying high, you know how I feel Sun in the sky, you know how I feel Reeds drifting on by, you know how I feel It's a new dawn, it's a new day, it's a new life for me And I'm feeling good [Verse 2] Fish in the sea, you know how I feel River running free, you know how I feel Blossom in the trees, you know how I feel It's a new dawn, it's a new day, it's a new life for me And I'm feeling good [Verse 3] Dragonflies out in the Sun You know what I mean, don't you know? Butterflies are all having fun You know what I mean Sleep in peace When the day is done And this old World is a new World and a bold World For me [Verse 4] Stars when you shine, you know how I feel Scent of the pine, you know how I feel Yeah, freedom is mine and you know how I feel It's a new dawn, it's a new day, it's a new life for me [Outro] Butterflies, ooh Oh, ooh ... Ooooh...freer than you...ooooh... Feeling good
