And I'm free at last
All my chains are in the past
The new life starts here

The day is wide open
The sky is blue
The world is a miracle
And so are you
The new life starts here

My papers arrived
Stamped and complete
All previous dispatches are obsolete
The new life starts here

I can see my way so clear
Rejoice for
The new life starts here

There's a war in the gulf
But it ain't in my head
I just declared a state of peace instead
The new life starts here

Tempters and tricksters
Banging at my door
I'm not fighting with them anymore
The new life starts here

Users, abusers
Banging at my door
I'm not fighting with them anymore
The new life starts here

Generals, presidents
How do you do?
I can make it with or without you
The new life starts here

I can see my way so clear
Rejoice for
The new life starts here

Are you under the mercy?
Are you under attack?
Are you going forward?
Are you going back?
The new life starts here

Are you coming to grips?
Are you coming apart?
Are you listening to fear?
Or to your heart?
The new life starts here

Citizen, criminal, child, woman or man
The keys to the kingdom
Are in your own hands
The new life starts here

Mock the devil
Make him sweat
He hasn't won the battle yet
The new life starts here

A whole new age in seven more years
Rejoice for
The new life starts here

And I'm free at last
All my chains are in the past
