[Chorus]
Tell me who's been fooling you?
Tell the truth, who's been fooling you?
[Verse 1]
There you sit there looking so cool

New dawn is breaking now, can't you see it?
[Refrain]
"See it" Yeah, I said, "See it", I said, "See it"
[Outro]
Whole world is shaking now, can't you feel it?
New dawn is breaking now, can't you see it?
I said, "See it", I said, "See it"
Just see it
Just see it
Just see it
