New Year '89

When I am feeling low
With God knows where to go
You said you'd always be
The one to rescue me
But now we're out at sea
The waves are drowning me
As you and I've become
The fight that no one wants

Settle down, settle down
I don't want to hear
The hollow sound echo 'round
Of why we disagree
The bombs we throw are ringing out
Rubble all around me
It's deafening, the voices of the ghosts in our heads
They're not true, we don't have to listen to

Let's call a truce, dear
Find some middle ground 'tween me and you, dear
Break down all the walls, we're not at home here
Nothing set in stone
Today is forever
We don't need to set a date to call it New Year
So happy New Year

Look around, look around
What do you want to see?
A madding crowd, gather 'round
Calling out for peace
It's deafening, the voices singing songs in the streets
Hallelujah, how 'bout you and me?

Let's call a truce dear
Find some middle ground 'tween me and you, dear
Break down all the walls, we're not at home here
Nothing set in stone
Today is forever
We don't need to set a date

I'm proud of the battles and the wars we've overcome
The skies, they unravel
They are old but we're still young

Let's start a new year on whatever day we want
'Cause me and you, dear
Are the heroes we become
Let's see it through, dear
Life is really love
The stars are only matter and the moon reflects the sun

Like me and you, dear
So happy New Year
Happy New Year

When I was feeling low
And looking for a home
You shared your love with me
Something I can't believe
When I was feeling down
My heart laid on the ground
You picked it up again
'Cause me and you are friends
