another new song

my mind is open 

my heart is free

there isn't any weight 

pulling on me 

but at any given moment 

that could all change 

right now I'm taking it 

day by day 

around every corner 

or just down the street 

anticipating you 

in every face I see

open for suggestion 

closed to all the pain

looking for a new song 

with a sweet refrain 

when tomorrow comes 

I won't look back 

nothing is laying there 

I shouldn't have left 

tomorrow is a beginning

for another new chance 

for another new song 

for another new dance 

if you want to come along

if you want to play a part

if there is anything

left inside your heart 

if there is a glimmer 

or anything held within 

leave the past in the past 

let's make a new beginning
