John Mellencamp A Brand New Song Lyrics

A Brand New Song Lyrics

Sweet belly of the moment

You've realized you've changed

And everything you are after

Well, has gone down the drain



You're nothing more than just a drifter

As you walk down your road

Not exactly the picture

You thought you'd be sending home



All these places mean nothing

It's the people we count on

Here without a purpose

Gone without a song



Yesterday seemed so sudden

Today seems to have no end

So you button up the buttons

Say goodbye to what has been



Those black and white pictures

That file through your veins

That's the trouble with the future

It always stays the same



And your pride's been shaken

And those people you count on

Here without a purpose

And gone without a song, without a song



In the uncertainty of a new day

Opportunity may howl

You hear the voice in a new way

In the past you didn't know how



You're old enough to know the difference

Between an enemy and a friend

With the eyes of knowledge upon you

You're able to stand up again



Life is always in motion

And there's new people to count on

Here you may find a purpose

And sing a brand new song



Life is always in motion

New people to count on

Here we find a purpose

To sing a brand new song

Brand new song, sing a brand new song
