What's this song about ↓

"Feeling Good" was written by Anthony Newley and Leslie Bricusse for the 1964 musical The Roar of the Greasepaint -- the Smell of the Crowd. Nina Simone transformed it from a show tune into a civil rights anthem. When she sings about the sun coming up, it is not just weather. It is the dawn after centuries of darkness.
