I need a new life Want some new highs Let changes draw near It’s all happening this year I crave a new day Draw a new start Find a new scene Play a new part Wear a new mask Make all new friends Follow new fads Try those new meds Find new hope Something new to care Embrace new promises Take up a new routine Wipe all that I’ve been If I find a new purpose If I follow new beliefs Will I get new faith? Will I feel new strength? If I trust a new future If I claim a new beginning Will I fall to new fears? Will I regret new choices? Making new plans Standing for new ideals Finding a new sense Forging a new real Yes I need that new new I’ll do all I can do To let changes draw near Its all happening this year Forgive me For all I’ve done I’ve given way To what’ve become My father’s son Care for none If nothing is written I’m leaving this all behind
