Tracy Chapman
New Beginning
[Verse 1]
The whole world's broke and it ain't worth fixing
It's time to start all over, make a new beginning
There's too much pain, too much suffering
Let's resolve to start all over, make a new beginning
Now don't get me wrong. I love life and living
But when you wake up and look around at everything
That's going down
All wrong
You see we need to change it now
This world with too few happy endings
We can resolve to start all over
Make a new beginning
[Chorus]
Start all over. Start all over
Start all over. Start all over
[Verse 2]
The world is broken into fragments and pieces
That once were joined together in a unified whole
But now too many stand alone. There's too much separation
We can resolve to come together in the new beginning
[Chorus]
Start all over. Start all over
Start all over. Start all over
[Bridge]
We can break the cycle
We can break the chain
We can start all over
In the new beginning
[Pre-Chorus]
We can learn, we can teach, we can share
The myths, the dreams, the prayer
The notion that we can do better
Change our lives and paths
Create a new world
[Chorus]
And Start all over. Start all over
Start all over. Start all over
[Verse 3]
The whole world's broke and it ain't worth fixing
It's time to start all over, make a new beginning
There's too much fighting, too little understanding
It's time to stop and start all over
Make a new beginning
[Chorus]
Start all over. Start all over
Start all over. Start all over
[Bridge]
We need to make new symbols
Make new signs
Make a new language
With these we'll define the world
[Chorus]
And start all over. Start all over
Start all over. Start all over
Start all over. Start all over
Start all over. Start all over
[Outro]
Start all over. Start all over
Start all over. Start all over
