Live for the Future



You gotta live for the new
When you don’t have a clue
That’s when life is really true
You gotta live for the new

Even when it hurts like hell
You gotta keep walking straight
Live for you
Live for the new

Same old days
Same old ways
When will something be better

But then it changes
Everything rearranges
And you find the joy to make it

Cause your finish line ain’t in sight
And you don’t know what else might
Come your way

Despite every pain
You ain’t done
You’ll be happy again

All the new things you will feel
All the new places you will go
Everything you haven’t done yet
Live your life to know

Just how amazing it will be
When you make it to your dream
You can live beautiful for you
Just live for the new
