[Badger and Crow:]
|
What we want is a brand new year
|
Open your heart and set us free
|
What we need is a brand new life
|
We'll decide on our own destiny
|
|
[Woodland Creatures:]
|
What we want is a brand new life
|
For every brother and sister - husband and wife
|
For the single and lonely, living in fear
|
What we want is a brand new year
|
|
[Crow:]
|
While this year is still young enough for laughter
|
We must insist that no tears follow after
|
Resolve to be strong
|
And right the wrong
|
Inflicted on you and me
|
|
[Woodland Creatures:]
|
What we want is a brand new life
|
For every brother and sister - husband and wife
|
For the single and lonely, living in fear
|
What we want is a brand new year
|
|
[Crow:]
|
You know there are changes waiting in the future
|
Some of them'll hurt yer, some of them'll suit yer
|
One thing to be certain of
|
You control your own destiny
|
|
[Woodland Creatures:]
|
What we want is a brand new life
|
For every brother and sister - husband and wife
|
For the single and lonely, living in fear
|
What we want is a brand new year
|
|
[Jay and Badger:]
|
What we want is a new conception
|
A child to lead us out of here
|
Free from mistrust with no deception
|
What we want is a brand new year
|
|
[Crow, Jay:]
|
While the midnight bells are rung
|
We are waking from a peaceful dream
|
Where children go to school
|
And play the fool
|
Decide their own destiny
|
|
[Hogarth:]
|
While this year's still young
|
You've got to show us that our kids are totally free
|
They wanna go to school, they wanna play the fool
|
They gotta decide on their own destiny
|
They have to guide the course of their own destiny
|
They gotta have pride enough to know their own destiny
|
|
[Woodland Creatures:]
|
What we want is a brand new year
|
Open your hearts and set them free
|
What we want is a brand new life
|
And to decide on our own destiny
|
|
[Hogarth, Crow:]
|
What do we want
|
What do we need
|
What do we want right now
|
What do we need right here
|
We want a brand new life now
|
We need a brand new year
|
|
[Jay:]
|
Woooooooooooh!
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
All shall be well
|
And all shall be well
|
And all manner of things
|
