New Lease On Life

New Lease on Life… I’ve got to prove it to myself And not to anybody else I’ve got a new lease on life Sharper than a razor or any knife I’m in search of better things Not the fame and fortune they might bring If I want to live, I’ve got to give Push myself a little harder Reach new peaks that hide I’ll seek them Surge ahead, run a big risk There must be more to life than this Laying around, lost not found Dusk till dawn without ambition Breaking loose and free Eluding the noose again I’ll have to change my ways but I’ll remain the same I have dreams like you but they won’t die, they’ll come true someway More of this and less of that, but I won’t refuse a good excuse To through it all away… If I want to live, I’ve got to give Push myself a little harder Reach new peaks that hide, I’ll seek them I’ll break my neck, keep working hard It’s better to feast than it is to starve Do my best to pass every test In search of better things, like Reaching new peaks that hide, I’ll seek them… Proving it to myself And not to anybody else I’ve got a new lease on life Sharper than a razor or any knife
