God, give me one shot and I'll break right through
I am starting to be brand new, come on

Rome is burning you can taste the embers
I am walking hard on Spanish Stairs
My Saint was silence rapping on the door
Grown up defiant I want so much more

So me brand new, say
(Starting over)
Me brand new, say
(Starting over)
Me brand new, say I say

You give me one shot at my life today
One shot, life today
I don't want to be a stranger

I walk with millions, a delicate few
So sad how loneliness might follow you
Through New York City streets and all their avenues
Cut thе concrete and you rise through

So mе brand new, say
(Starting over)
Me brand new, say
(Starting over)
Me brand new, say I say
You give me one shot at my life today
Give me one shot at my life today
I don't want to be a stranger

I don't want to be just a passerby
Stand in no lines all around the world
I don't want to be a parasite
Holding on tight
Holding on tight

I got this feeling and it's down in my bones
I got this feeling and it's burning up my soul
I got to get just one shot, baby one more day
Got to give me one shot baby
I got a feeling would you give me one day

And give me one shot at my life today
Give me one shot, life today
I don't want to be a stranger
One shot, life today
Give me one shot, life today
I don't want to be a stranger
I don't want to be a stranger
I don't want to be a stranger
I will never be your stranger
I don't wanna to be a passerby
Stand in no one's lines around the world
I will never be a parasite
Holding on tight
Holding on tight
Holding on
