"Searching For A New Day" lyrics - SHARON JONES & THE DAP-KINGS

Simple sounds are in my ear, coming from a radio
Oh no - where did all the good times go?
In the daytime all I am is a working fool
And in the nighttime I'm trying to keep my cool
I know that people say (Gotta be a better way)
But there ain't no golden goose that'll get you paid

[Pre-Chorus 1:]
Through the hard times
Can't sit on the sideline
(You know we gotta get ahead)
I'm gonna keep on trying

[Chorus:]
I've been searching for a new day
Some peace of mind is gonna come my way
(And if you don't find it?)
I'll keep on searching for it
(I hope you find it)
I know I'll find it

If I find what I'm looking for, I could rule the world
A brand new superstar, once an ordinary girl
And with my newfound fame, I could lend a helping hand
To all those in need, however I can
Since you know just what I'm looking for
Maybe you can be the one that can open up the door

[Pre-Chorus 2:]
Can you hear me knocking?
And everyone is thumping
(We're just trying to get ahead)
I'm gonna keep on trying

[Chorus:]
I've been searching for a new day
Some peace of mind is gonna come my way
(And if you don't find it?)
I'll keep on searching for it
(I know you'll find it)
I know I'll find it
