New World Blues

Life is not a compromise
 Though it often turns to this
 Unintended suicide
 As if our fate's sealed with a kiss
 We're all taught to rise above
 Can't let ourselves be hurt by love
 So tell me what I have to lose
 I'm ready to feel these new world blues
 Dreams 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 flight
 Never knowing what we seek
 Think our pain is so unique
 So tell me what I have to lose
 I'm ready to feel these new world blues
 Heroes are not to cry
 So hold your head up high
 The future is ours to see
 So come on and rescue me
 So 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 blues
 Life is not a compromise
