New Year '89

(album: All The Worlds We Built - 2023)

When I am feeling low
With God knows where to go
You said you'd always be
The one to rescue me

But now we're out at sea
The waves are drowning me
As you and I've begun
The fight that no one wants

Settle down, settle down
I don't want to hear
The hollow sound, echo round
Of why we disagree

The bombs we throw
Are ringing out
Rubble all around me
It's deafening

The voices of the ghosts in our heads

Let's call a truce dear
Find some middle ground 'tween me and you dear
Break down all the walls we're not at home here
Nothing's set in stone, today is forever
We don't need to set a date to call it new year

So happy new year

Look around look around
What do you want to see?
A madding crowd gather round
Calling out for peace

It's deafening

Voices singing songs in the streets
Hallelujah, how about you and me?

Let's call a truce dear
Find some middle ground 'tween me and you dear
Break down all the walls we're not at home here
Nothing's set in stone, today is forever
We don't need to set a date

I'm proud of the battles and the wars we've overcome
The scars they unravel they are old but we're still young

Let's start a new year
On whatever day we want 'cause me and you dear
Are the heroes we become
Let's see it through dear
Life is really love
The stars are only matter and the moon reflects the sun
Like me and you dear

So happy new year

When I was feeling low
And looking for a home
You shared your love with me
Something I can't believe

When I was feeling down
My heart laid on the ground
You picked it up again
'Cause me and you are friends
