A New Man

Look at you, the sorry state you're in A man without a country or a friend A man who can't remember how his blood would shake in boyhood To the rhythm of the wheat fields in the wind Stung by those old lies you told yourself Strung with that same rope you sold yourself Either you can't hear the bells or you can't tell for whom they toll And still, they toll It's time to go Make a habit of erasing every track No trace of love behind to mark your path Teaching everyone a lesson thought your heart was worth the hold And that it's not Is that what you want? You must become a new man Must become a new man Must become a new man Change You felt the storm clouds building in your bones Tornados spun for you and you alone And then wrapped themselves around you in the rain and whipping wind And slip your skin Begin again You'll find there's only love and love's returning And you'll finally know the warmth of home fires burning And the green hills will be waving with abandon The road unrolled before you like an anthem In every stranger's face, a place of welcome No matter who you are or where you came from You won't walk among the dead a moment longer You won't belong there You will be a new man You will be a new man You will be a new man Change You will be a new man You will be a new man You will be a new man Change You will be a new man You will be a new man You will be a new man Change
