“Brand New Life”
“Brand New Life”
8/19/2000
We stayed up last night talking about all those
Crazy fears you have.
There’s nothing that I can say and nothing that I can do
So you won’t feel so bad.
But listen my dear,
Please don’t ever fear
That you’re hurting me with your fright.
When all’s said and done
We both will have won
Because this is our new life.
This life has sprung
From the ashes of our past,
And this life will live on
As long as we have breath.
We’ve both been burned out once before-
But don’t back down from this open door,
‘Cause new life is here,
And you will always be my dear.
Our brand new life is here for good.
A long time ago there was another boy
Who tried to reach into your heart.
Before I knew you even had a name
Or you’d match my lonely part.
Then he reached in your soul
And took back his love
And left you to hang dry.
Now deep in your heart, you don’t want to fall,
And scrape your knees and cry.
This life has sprung
From the ashes of our past,
And this life will live on
As long as we have breath.
We’ve both been burned out once before-
But don’t back down from this open door,
‘Cause new life is here,
And you will always be my dear.
Our brand new life is here for good.
Yes, this is yet another song I wrote for the WJ’s.
