Maybe its a lie, even if its a sin,

Its a-comin, a brand new day, hmm hmm.

Big men, little men turned into dust,
Maybe it was all in fun, they didnt mean to ruin no one.
Could there be someone, someone here among this crowd
Whos been accused, had his name so misused
And his privacy refused ?

Close your eyes, hang your head
Until the fog blows away, let it roll away,
Open up your arms and feel the good,
Its a-comin, a brand new day,
Hmm.. no, no, no.

Now all you vigilantes wanna make a move,
Maybe they wont, you know I sure hope they dont.
For whether this rumor proves true or false,
You can forgive or you can regret,
But he will never ever forget.

Close your eyes, hang down your head,
Until the fog blows away, let it roll away.
Open up your arms and feel the good,
Its a-comin, a brand new day,
Hmm, la la la la la,
Oh oh la la la la la.
