Song Meaning
TobyMac's “Horizon (A New Day)” is an upbeat hip hop and pop track about believing change is coming and facing it together. The opening lines describe the rush of readiness: “I feel the blood rushin' through my veins, I'm ready for change.” Others tell him to stay in his lane, but his heart is “screamin' my name.” The group is pushing through the night and trusting that they will come “to the morning light.”
The chorus announces the theme: “A new day is on the horizon. If you can see it, I can see it, we can be it.” The verses speak about unity, saying family is “thicker than blood, thicker than earth,” and that “beautiful together” people can “do anything in His name.” A rapped section describes a “creator culture” where different people are parts of one body, and says that love is stronger than anything said against it. The closing call tells listeners to rise up if they are tired of the replay, to put fists high and get ready for something new. The song is meant for a youth event or a workout playlist, and its message of hope is aimed at people who feel stuck.
Arise, your light has come is Isaiah 60:1. Keeping the unity of the Spirit is Ephesians 4:3-6, and strength through Christ is Philippians 4:13.

I'm ready for change
They keep tellin' me to stay in my lane
But it's screamin' my name (Name, name)
My heart is racin' the elements we're facin'
Got us pushin' through night (Night, night) (Oh)
I feel the pressure, but when we come together
We'll journey to the morning light (Light, light)
It's our destiny
No separatin' us 'cause we're family
Beautiful together
I do believe we can do anything in His name
(A new day)
A new day (A new day) is on the horizon
(A new day)
A new day (A new day) is on the horizon
If you can see it, I can see it, we can be it
I believe in nothin' gon' stand in our way
(A new day)
A new day (A new day) is on the horizon (Horizon)
Uh, thicker than blood, thicker than earth
Soup ties so deep and wide (Wide)
There's comin' a day, comin' a day we gonna rise up
We won't give up the fight
It's our destiny
No separatin' us 'cause we're family
Beautiful together
I do believe we can do anything in His name
(A new day)
A new day (A new day) is on the horizon
(A new day)
A new day (A new day) is on the horizon
If you can see it, I can see it, we can be it
I believe in nothin' gon' stand in our way
(A new day)
A new day (A new day) is on the horizon (Horizon)
Takin' all we are and bindin' it forever (Ever)
Together, never severed a song so much deeper than the skin
We're in a creator culture, even our names (Even our names)
Fall straight into the shadows of the depths of how we relate
Our body, our family, different parts but one and the same
Spiritual shame again, I can't 'cause the love we have is different
You could say what you say
But nothin' could stand in the way
All the rising on the horizon
Open your eyes (Eyes, eyes, eyes) to a new day
(A new day)
A new day (A new day) is on the horizon
(A new day)
A new day (A new day) is on the horizon
If you can see it, I can see it, we can be it
I believe in nothin' gon' stand in our way
A new day (A new day) is on the horizon
Rise up if you're tired of the replay
And fists high if you're ready for a new day
Rise up if you're tired of the replay (Hey-ey)
Tired of the replay
Rise up if you're tired of the replay
And fists high if you're ready for a new day
Rise up if you're tired of the replay (Hey-ey)
Tired of the replay
