[INTRO:]

                 (2X)


                  
In my shoes,

                  
In my shoes

               
There is so much to remind me

               
As the stars come out above me,

              
home

             

               
Cool wind,

               
Clear my head

               
Bright Sun Grow my food

                 
Strong rain clear my heart

               
Fill my land

              
It's a new day


[CHORUS:]

                                   
I           don't know why it is sold

                    
Don't know why it's so cold

(no chord)
In this life that we live


                (2X)

              
new day,   new day

              
new day,   new day

              
In my shoes,

              
In my shoes


              
There is so much to astound me

              
As the whirlpool spins around me,

              
home

              

              
Bushfire,

              
burn and grow

              
Sunset watch and rest low

              
Long night holding child close

              
     feed my dream


[CHORUS:]


              
new day,   new day

              
new day,   new day


[BRIDGE:]
                 
It's larger than life,

                 
It's darker than death,

                                  
We're gonna move those mountains aside

(no chord)
Here come the messages


                (4X)

              
new day,   new day

              
new day,   new day

                (2X)

              
new day,   new day

              
new day,   new day

                (4X, fades out)
