Lyrics
Narration – It was a New Day
A new wind’s blowing over the hill
Down the mountainside
Through the vale, the valley
Over land and sea and sky
From the fairground of the north
To Southern city streets
From the West still holding back the sea
To the border towns in the East
For now and forever more
From today and from now on
Oh! Cwm Rhondda Oh! My Lord
Oh! Cwm Rhondda Oh! My Lord
Great is the need for these new days
The future lies with our sons and daughters
South will meet with North
And many will rise and fall and history will say
Today was built on yesterday
Tomorrow will be built on today
As the first ray of hope is cut
From the dawn of the brand new sun
For now and forever more
from today and from now on
Oh! Cwm Rhondda Oh! My Lord
Oh! Cwm Rhondda Oh! My Lord
Great is the need for these new days
