“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.

Kevin,
The things from the past indeed prepared us for where we are today, to a new life, as you call it. We became what we are, the better version of who we are, because of the many things we went through in our life.
I like the reassuring message of this lyric-poem that intimately spoke to a wife or to a partner. Taking that person by the hand towards an open door of a new life.
I know this is better said singing, which I understand you do.
I wish you well.

Bold Bright Eyes,
I would love to visit your site. Unfortunately when I click on your avatar or your name it doesn’t lead me to the right page. Check into that, and give me your address, and I’ll hop on by.
Always,
Kevin

thanks for all the help and i need to learn to let people in but my biggest problem after i let them in is lettting them go when they are ready to go. i hate losing someone who i love to someone else and then having to let go of all the great memories. it hurts plain and simple but i am dealing with it slowly but surely. i will be okay in time but there is no way to skip steps and hurt. i just have to go through it with my head held high and not a tear in my eye. life is unfair but i have to deal with it in the best way that i can. i miss him but more than that i miss the old him. he has changed and while i deal with change moderatly i hate when it hits all of a sudden. we were together for two years and neither of us drank or smoked anything and now that is all he does. he never cussed me and for the past 6 months he has done nothing but that. i miss the old him. i dont feel that i have changed for the worse like he has. we both just went separate ways.
