Lyrics
New Life
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Well we made a mad dash for the good life
And we passed when we weren't looking
And we made a swift retreat to the danger
That we'd see every evening
It ain't happened yet, I ain't holding' my breath
I wanna breathe some new life
Breathe some new life
Some new life
Ain't happened yet, I ain't holding' my breath
Got my way, tend to sway 'cause my vision now is slanted
And cease not to intercede for me until my request is granted
I wanna breathe some new life
Breathe some new life
Breathe some new life
It ain't happened yet, I ain't holding' my breath
Teach me to die, a butterfly soft and slow, deep in the meadow
Peace to my soul, I'm good to go, I'm prepared, Lord to travel
Ain't happened yet, I ain't holding' my breath
I wanna breathe some new life…
Please forgive my sins, once again
I will fall and I will fail
