A New Life
ffffffffffff
Finally, the fighting's over
ain't nobody crying round here anymore
the house is still and oh, so very quiet
ain't no sound but the swinging of that back door
For years I've heard you lying, saying this was,
just a temporary thing
Then why'd it take you so many years when
he never even gave you a ring
I don't know what is in your tomorrows
I wish I could tell you what God intends to bring
All I know is my heart's been gray and clouded
and I hope now you remind it how to sing
I had to learn about relationships by hearing you half the night
One day you're fine, next day you're hit, next day it's
"everything will be alright"
From the beginning, you had the highest hopes for me
but don't you realize that all you ever asked was
that I learn, from all I see
I don't know what is in your tomorrows
Wish I could tell you what God intends to bring
All I know is my heart's been gray and clouded
and I hope now you remind it how to sing
I never thought you had the strength to leave him
Our lives are starting over today
so get your guitar and sing a song for a while
Let me welcome you to a brand new day
I said, I don't know what is in your tomorrows
wish I could tell you what God intends to bring
All I know is my heart's been gray and clouded
and I thank God you reminded it how to sing.
