I've been up and I've been down
And I'm more at home when near the ground
But that is all about to change today.
See the world has never been my friend
As it rarely is to any man
But I'm not gonna let that bring me down.
Cause the world goes by and so will I
So I'll arm myself with a great big smile
And I'll walk amongst humanity again
Nothing else to do.
And I've been waiting for such a long time
For this life to end
For the world to relent
And make enemies my friend.
But the rules they won't change
They won't even bend.
So to the world I say,
"My new life starts today
Yesterday was yesterday"
From here on out I see only joy
And beauty will be my main employ
And laugh and while I'm gone I'll laugh a lot;
The sadness that was once in me
Is now all gone it's been relieved
Still leaving me with only this smile to smile at you.
Already I feel so much better
My mind is spry and even the weather
Has changed
If only by one degree.
And I've been waiting for such a long time
For this life to end
For the world to relent
And make enemies my friend.
But I wasn't there for the world's beginning
And I won't see it's end
So I'm moving on.
My new life starts today
Yesterday was yesterday
I've got no reason to complain
Cause yesterday was yesterday
My new life starts today
My new life starts today
My new life starts today
My new life starts today
