The New Life-The Waterboys

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 Users, abusers 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 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 Citizen, criminal, 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 Rejoice for The new life starts here
