Something New

I’ve seen the beauty, 
I’ve seen the devil
I’ve been around the purity, 
I know why Cain killed Abel

There are blockades in our life 
There’s right and wrong 
So we wish we could ignore
But we don’t know which to do 
 
Sometimes everything seems wrong 
There are things you have to choose
We left when we want more
That’s not the right thing to do

When life tears you apart
It makes a life that choice
That's when you think real hard
And come up with what’s yours 
 
Bury me in the sand
Lift my name up high
From wounds of a wanted man
To the cape that allows you to fly

You can’t always take it with you
But you can find a home
You are welcomed everywhere
But some places you can’t go 

Just when you’re at you lowest
Your peak will surely grow
You can’t always pretend 
And I know you know

Even though you can’t find me
You know where we are
This is where I come in
And take us to the stars 
 
And I know what to do 
I know I can’t stay
Stay away from you 

Just when you got down
You think you’re not around
But I know that ain’t true 

Take a look around
We got plans to make
I can’t get away from you 
 
And you will always find something new
You know it’s what we’re meant to do
No matter what we’re going through 
You will always find something new 

And I know where we are And you know where we are
You can’t always pretend 
And I know where we are And you know where we are
Even though you can’t always find me
