See that broken hearted man   Toiling in the burning sun   Disappointed African   Doesn't even over stand      After so many years of sweat and tears   Still he's living in fear   Wondering if and when   He's gonna have his share      Well, guess what's happening   A new day's dawning   See the black son's rising   Soon he will be free      See that poor disgruntled youth   Trying his best to know the truth   Why his ancestors have died   From those all who robbed and ruled      So many years of blood and stain   Still he's working in vain   Wondering if and when   He'll ever have his share      Well, guess what's happening   A new day's dawning   I see a new horizon   Soon he will be free      How could life be so unfair   He wonders how some get out there   Sitting in their rocking chair   While he's living in despair      After so many years of sweat and tears   Still he's living in fear   Wondering if and when   He's gonna have his share      Guess what's happening   I see a new day's dawning   I see the table is turning   Soon he will be free, yo, ho, ho      Guess what's happening   A new day's dawning   I see the table is turning   Soon he will be free, yo, ho, ho      Guess what's happening   I see the table is turning   See a new horizon   Soon he will be free   Guess what's happening   I see a new day's dawning
