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
