Every New Minute

I’m Looking through a dusty pane

The light is dim the view opaque

The shore of my heart is where it breaks

I choose hope despite the ache

And it takes

 

Something of the reckless to open up again

Fear is an illusion, pain is something to embrace

The journey of the wounded seems to have much lower stakes

Cos the thing I lost the last time round cannot be lost again

 

Ooh ooh ooh ooh

Another chance to begin it

Ooh ooh ooh ooh

All life is in it

Ooh ooh ooh ooh

Another chance to begin it

There’s no limit

Every new minute

 

Call it stupid call it brave

All that I’ve got I’ll give away

Cos all I want is here today

And every minute is chance to heal the a pain

 

And the minute I’m not in it

All my joy just drifts away

My happiness projected to some far off distant place

Serenity’s allusive if I don’t live in the day

And when it gets a bit too much I get to start again

 

Ooh ooh ooh ooh

Another chance to begin it

Ooh ooh ooh ooh

All life is in it

Ooh ooh ooh ooh

Another chance to begin it

There’s no limit

Every new minute

 

And when you join me in the moment we know

the things we have in common are the things that we’re most often scared to show

And for a second if we can find the courage to be close

We’ll find our shared  humanity

 

Ooh ooh ooh ooh

Another chance to begin it

Ooh ooh ooh ooh

All life is in it

Ooh ooh ooh ooh

Another chance to begin it

There’s no limit

Every new minute
