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
