The New Life Lyrics

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 despatches
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 the New Life starts here

Are you under the Mercy ?
Are you under attack ?
Are you going forwards ?
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 and 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

I can see my way so clear
Rejoice for the New Life starts here
