Analysis of Something New
There is always time to do something new
Reach beyond your mortal bound
Take a step and move into the blue
Grasp your chance to open fresh ground
Reach beyond your mortal bound
Sharpen your needle and loop it with thread
Grasp your chance to open fresh ground
Take a sure stab at the thought in your head
Sharpen your needle and loop it with thread
Doubt and faint heart must have no purchase here
Take a sure stab at the thought in your head
Marvel at once as the prize becomes clear
Doubt and faint heart must have no purchase here
You stand steadfast and calm, blink in the light
Marvel at once as the prize becomes clear
It wraps you in brilliance, your dream is in flight
You stand steadfast and calm, blink in the light
Take a step and move into the blue
It wraps you in brilliance, your dream is in flight
There is always time to do something new
