New Lands

Tell me something I ain't heard before
Show me someplace no one's looking for
I wanna stake out a new frontier
I've been in my head for too long

Running auburn fields in the broad daylight
With these fists unwound and left open wide
The song of summer in both my ears
And nothing left to string along
No, there's nothing left to string along

'Cause these are new lands
And I've got mountains left to climb
In these new lands
There's something bigger than me

I can take my stand
And finally have a reason to feel alive
Yeah, these are new lands
And I'm running fast and free

Well, the cold brick walls where I've made my home
They got awfully tall, took my room to grow
Gonna pitch this tent past the county line
I'll be on my way before too long

Got too tangled up in my own devices
Liberties sold at discount prices
Changing tides in the place I stood
You start drifting until you're gone
Oh, you start drifting until you're gone

But these are new lands
And I've got mountains left to climb
In these new lands
There's something bigger than me

I can take my stand
And finally have a reason to feel alive
Yeah, these are new lands
And I'm running fast and free

Well, all that's broken is
Never permanent, it's
Nothing more, nothing more
Than you want it to be

These are new lands
And I've got mountains left to climb
In these new lands
There's something bigger than me

I can take my stand
And finally have a reason to feel alive
Yeah, these are new lands
And I'm running fast and free

These are new lands
And I'm running fast and free
