A Brand New Song

Sweet Belly of the moment, you've realized you've changed

And everything you are after has gone down the drain.

You're nothing more than a drifter as you walk down your road.

Not exactly the picture you'd be sending home.

All these places mean nothing it's the people we count on.

Here without a purpose, gone without a song.

Yesterday seemed so sudden, today seems to have no end.

So you button up the buttons and say goodbye to what has been.

Those black and white pictures that file through your veins.

That's the trouble with the future, it always stays the same.

And your pride's been shaken and those people you count on

here without a purpose and gone without a song

without a song.

In the uncertainty of a new day, opportunity may howl.

You hear the voice in a new way, in the past you didn't know how

You're old enough to know the difference

between an enemy and a friend

with the eyes of knowledge upon you, you're able to stand up again.

Life is always in motion, and there's new people to count on

Here you may find a purpose and sing a brand new song.

Sing a brand new song.

This post is dedicated to my sister Carrie - start singing that brand new song.
