|
I've burned my bridges |
|
And i'm free at last |
|
All my chains are |
|
In the past |
|
The new life starts here |
|
(i was trying to get happy |
|
I thought it was hard |
|
Until i found that |
|
In my own back yard |
|
The new life starts here) |
|
The day is wide open |
|
The sky is blue |
|
The world is a miracle |
|
And so are you |
|
The new life starts here |
|
My papers arrived |
|
Stamped and complete |
|
All previous dispatches |
|
Are obsolete |
|
The new life starts here |
|
I can see my way so clear |
|
Rejoice for... |
|
The new life starts here |
|
There's a war in the gulf |
|
But it ain't in my head |
|
I just declared a state of |
|
Peace instead |
|
The new life starts here |
|
(tempters and tricksters |
|
Banging at my door |
|
I'm not fighting with them |
|
Anymore |
|
The new life starts here |
|
/ |
|
Users, abusers, |
|
Banging at my door |
|
I'm not fighting with them |
|
Anymore |
|
The new life starts here |
|
Tempsters and tricksters |
|
Wondering how |
|
To seize my attention |
|
They cannot touch me now |
|
The new life starts here) |
|
Generals, presidents |
|
How do you do? |
|
I can make it with or |
|
Without you |
|
The new life starts here |
|
I can see my way so clear |
|
Rejoice for... |
|
The new life starts here |
|
Are you under the mercy? |
|
Are you under attack? |
|
Are you going forward? |
|
Are you going back? |
|
The new life starts here |
|
(are you coming to grips? |
|
Are you coming apart? |
|
Are you listening to fear? |
|
Or to your heart? |
|
The new life starts here |
|
/ |
|
Are you building heaven |
|
Or are you building hell? |
|
When that great day comes |
|
Will you be able to tell? |
|
The new life starts here) |
|
Citizen, criminal, child |
|
Woman or man |
|
The keys to the kingdom |
|
Are in your own hands |
|
The new life starts here |
|
(god of our love |
|
Who ignited the sun |
|
Not my will |
|
But thine be done |
|
The new life starts here) |
|
Mock the devil |
|
Make him sweat! |
|
He hasn't won |
|
The battle yet |
|
The new life starts here |
|
(a whole new age in seven more years |
|
A brave new age in ten more years) |
|
Rejoice for... |
|
The new life starts here |
