The Rock New

New, new, new New, new, new New New York skyline Wounds may heal in time Don't crumble don't dismay It's a new New York today I look across these city streets My heart is numb, it still beats Nothing to say There's nothing to say I look across this empty room My heart is still in gloom There's nothing to say I only can pray New, new, new New, new, new New New York Skyline Wounds may heal in time Don't crumble don't dismay It's a new New York today I look across these city streets My heart is cold, it beats Thirtieth of May Ground Zero today New, new, new New, new, new I get on my knees and pray For the heroes of the day No more comfort I can find For the loved ones left behind They won't tear us apart! They won't tear us apart! They won't tear us apart! They won't tear us apart! No way! New day!, new day!

And another one bites the dust Oh why can I not conquer love And I might have thought that we were one Wanted to fight this war without weapons And I wanted it, I wanted it bad But there were so many red flags Now another one bites the dust Yeah let's be clear, I'll trust no one You did not break me I'm still fighting for peace I've got thick skin and an elastic heart But your blade it might be too sharp I'm like a rubberband until you pull too hard I may snap and I move fast But you won't see me fall apart 'Cos I've got an elastic heart And I will stay up through the night Let's be clear, won't close my eyes And I know that I can survive I'll walk through fire to save my life And I want it, I want my life so bad I'm doing everything I can Then another one bites the dust It's hard to lose a chosen one You did not break me I'm still fighting for peace I've got thick skin and an elastic heart But your blade it might be too sharp I'm like a rubberband until you pull too hard I may snap and I move fast But you won't see me fall apart 'Cos I've got an elastic heart

I can't live this way, placing all the blame for all my problems on everyone I know and everything. You fooled me once, but more than once I let that record play. Repeating history. My own worst enemy. Rise up like a phoenix from the ashes. When everything you know goes up in flames. Rise up like a phoenix from the ashes. And when you feel it start to burn, let fire be a lesson learned. I can't ask for change if I remain the same. All of my failures are weighing down on me. I'm wasting away. No matter what you say, at the end of the day I'll paint a picture with my own memories. Burn away the old me and who I used to be, let me go up in flames. I won't turn away, I'll feel the pain, so when I look back I'll remember everything. Who are you to blame when everything you know goes up in flames? Don't walk away, when you feel it start to burn, let fire... Rise up like a phoenix from the ashes. When everything you know goes up in flames. Rise up like a phoenix from the ashes. And when you feel it start to burn, let fire be a lesson learned.

I've burned my bridges And I'm free at last All my chains are In the past 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. 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 me 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 Citizens, criminals, Child, woman, or man, The keys to the Kingdom Are in your own hands 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 me New life starts here.
