Everybody, hands up high -- it's a new day...
Leave yesterday behind...
Oh...

A new girl on the block, our neighborhood
Your eyes had this spark, became best friends and for good.
School days -- fell in love with the same boy.
Did you know I was jealous
Of you -- seemed so perfect to me...

Times back, oh, when I was feeling blue...
You always found me a way to get through.
Grabbed my hand, lift me up off the ground,
And then your soft sweet eyes...
Soon ended all my cries...

And you'll say "hands up high" -- it's a new day...
Leave yesterday behind.
Everybody trust yourself in a new friend,
Who loves you and is kind...
Oh...

Now years past...we're apart but nothing's changed.
May be a bit old, our hearts and our spirits stay same.
Remember sitting alone in the stairway --
You asked me what's wrong...
Somehow knew all about me...

Times back, oh, when I was feeling blue...
You always found me a way to get through.
Grabbed my hand, lift me up off the ground,
And then your soft sweet eyes...
Soon ended all my cries...

Everybody, hands up high -- it's a new day...
Leave yesterday behind.
Everybody trust yourself in a new friend,
Who loves you and is kind...
Oh...

Everybody, hands up high -- it's a new day...
Leave yesterday behind.
Everybody trust yourself in a new friend,
Who loves you and is kind...
Oh...
