Verse I:

If I get famous I won’t have a story

No struggle of which to sing

No humble beginnings or rise to glory

Experience to bring

Verse II:

Everybody wants to have a story

Just something to break the norm

Well, maybe I’ve decided that’s just not for me

I never will conform

Chorus:

All of these people, they don’t understand

Father, forgive them, they can’t comprehend

That all that is happening, it’s all been said

It’s nothing new, it’s nothing new

Verse III:

I met a couple strangers on the road to Emmaus

And I asked, “What do you see?”

They talked about our world coming down all around us

I said, “Friends, do you see me?”

Chorus:

All of these people, they don’t understand

Father, forgive them, they can’t comprehend

That all that is happening, it’s all been said

It’s nothing new, it’s nothing new

Verse IV:

Can’t you see the world’s not ending

These are just the birthing pains

The beginning of a new beginning

A time when love will reign

Chorus:

All of these people, they don’t understand

Father, forgive them, they can’t comprehend

That all that is happening, it’s all been said

It’s nothing new, it’s nothing new

All of these people, they don’t understand

Father, forgive them, they can’t comprehend

That all that is happening, it’s all been said

It’s nothing new, it’s nothing new
