New World Blues

Life is not a compromise

Though it often turns to this

Unintended suicide

As if our fate's sealed with a kissWe're all taught to rise above

Can't let ourselves be hurt by loveSo tell me what I have to lose

I'm ready to feel these new world bluesDreams are only of a new world

Instead of making this one right

But 'Run away' is not the answer

Still we all want to take flightNever knowing what we seek

Think our pain is so uniqueSo tell me what I have to lose

I'm ready to feel these new world bluesHeroes are not to cry

So hold your head up high

The future is ours to see

So come on and rescue meSo tell me what I have to lose

I'm ready to feel these new world blues

So tell me what I have to lose

I'm ready to feel these new world bluesLife is not a compromise
