Written to melody of Michael Buble’s – It’s A Beautiful Day

My New Way – By Shawn Chadwick Sackman One day I woke up Feeling sorry for myself Not what I wanted for me And then it hit me Realized I was free to be anything Had big dreams before, but where had they gone From that day on I said come-on My true test Never lose this feeling, feel so blessed (Pre Chorus) Heard the choir singing Oh man I am reeling Looked up winked, said thanks for the healing (Chorus) It’s my new way It’s the same me, just a new way of trying I’m not letting a thing stop me From believing, not deceiving I know the way, know how it should be, there just for me Trick is don't lose faith in believing, in the gift of receiving It’s clear now that it’s a really new day For my new way I now want to try, to see what’s next Got list of things to do, from my new view I’m so okay, think I’ll stay (Pre Chorus) Heard the choir singing Has me really reeling No no’s, just say yes and go It’s a great feeling, want everyone to know (Chorus) It’s my new way It’s the same me, just a new way of trying I’m not letting a thing stop me From believing, not deceiving I know the way, know how it should be, there just for me Trick is don't lose faith in believing, in the gift of receiving It’s clear now that it’s a really new day ‘Cause I know this feeling helps me Help others who can’t see Not like before, no gray days for me Oh what a day My new way Oh, I know it’s not just my new way My new way
