Intro
New Life
Every once in a while, just when you think things are going to be bad
And things aren't looking good
A new life comes along and saves the day
You gotta keep your head up. This is for my father. Hope you enjoy

I'm tired of listening for the sound of the telephone ringing
Started believing that you're not coming. I want to fly away
I learned your letters, inside out, in the garden while I'm eating
Your boy and your girl run free, nobody looking, even me
Cause it's all right, it's ok, now
They gotta get a nеw life

I'm tired of putting myself down
Thеre's a doorbell ringing
Back in the dawn is a way
Two by two, me and you, to a brand-new place
Cause those chains you made to
Work me, they never lasted no, no, no
Send the basket to the president
Now the daughter is going to pay my rent
It's gonna be alright
Just let me stay for a while
We're gonna get a new life

Junior your son is on TV, singing a song, yeah
About Marcus, Malcolm and Martin, Elijah
And I think he just said, Nathaniel Geyser
Come God's children, let's make a way
Let's make a way to join hands
Together in paradise and oasis before your eyes
It's gonna be alright
You can stay for a while
I'm gonna get a new life

You won't be living here too long - moving on, moving on
To a new life for the living
Everybody's got a new song
Now help me sing it
Everybody's needs a new life, once in a while
Everybody needs a new life, once in a while
You need a new life, once in a while
You need a new life
Everybody needs a new life
Yes, you do! Yes, you do!
A new life, a new life, a new life
