Ok, so the meaning of this song hit me like a truck after I got out of an unhealthy relationship, and was mostly over the negative post break-up feelings. The meaning of this song is almost entirely centered around one line.

"Oh freedom is mine And I know how I feel"

The entire song is referring to nature and how everything in nature understands and knows how she feels, and how does she feel? Well, freedom is hers, so she, like the things in nature, knows what it feels like to be free...but what exactly does freedom feel like? Well...

"It's a new dawn It's a new day It's a new life For me

And I'm feeling good"
