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
