Pete Townshend - A New Life / Reprise lyrics

[Badger and Crow:] What we want is a brand new year Open your heart and set us free What we need is a brand new life We'll decide on our own destiny [Woodland Creatures:] What we want is a brand new life For every brother and sister - husband and wife For the single and lonely, living in fear What we want is a brand new year [Crow:] While this year is still young enough for laughter We must insist that no tears follow after Resolve to be strong And right the wrong Inflicted on you and me [Woodland Creatures:] What we want is a brand new life For every brother and sister - husband and wife For the single and lonely, living in fear What we want is a brand new year [Crow:] You know there are changes waiting in the future Some of them'll hurt yer, some of them'll suit yer One thing to be certain of You control your own destiny [Woodland Creatures:] What we want is a brand new life For every brother and sister - husband and wife For the single and lonely, living in fear What we want is a brand new year [Jay and Badger:] What we want is a new conception A child to lead us out of here Free from mistrust with no deception What we want is a brand new year [Crow, Jay:] While the midnight bells are rung We are waking from a peaceful dream Where children go to school And play the fool Decide their own destiny [Hogarth:] While this year's still young You've got to show us that our kids are totally free They wanna go to school, they wanna play the fool They gotta decide on their own destiny They have to guide the course of their own destiny They gotta have pride enough to know their own destiny [Woodland Creatures:] What we want is a brand new year Open your hearts and set them free What we want is a brand new life And to decide on our own destiny [Hogarth, Crow:] What do we want What do we need What do we want right now What do we need right here We want a brand new life now We need a brand new year [Jay:] Woooooooooooh! [Chorus:] All shall be well And all shall be well And all manner of things
