Saw a new morning

All of a sudden I saw a new morning.
I'm locked up and I want to be free.
Out in the courtyard and over the wall then
My friends are waiting for me.

Sixteen people are waiting to get me,
hoping to take me outside.
I hear the sound of the snub nose behind me,
I went along for the ride.

Wind in my face and my bones they are aching.
My soul must weather the storm (ah).
I must run till my back it is breaking,
desperat'ly I must keep on

Sixteen people are waiting to get me,
hoping to take me outside.
I hear the sound of the snub nose behind me,
I went along for the ride.

La, la, la...

All of a sudden I saw a new morning,
I went along for the ride.
La, la, la...

All of a sudden I saw a new morning.
All of a sudden I saw a new morning.
All of a sudden I saw a new morning.

I saw a new morning.
I saw a new morning.
I saw a new morning.
I saw a new morning.
