old classical song

[DIS]

Sorry for being nieve, can anyone tell me the name of the old classical song (with strings) with the lyrics: river flowing to the sea, you know what i mean, its a new dawn, its a new day, its a new life, and i feel fine

It's called 'Feeling Good' and was written by Leslie Bricusse and Anthony Newley. I'm not sure, but I think it was originally sung by Nina Simone (can anyone confirm that?). It has been covered by many different people, including Stevie Wonder and, most recently, Muse.

Yip, it was Nina Simone.

And don't worry about being nieve, but being naive might be more of a concern!
