New Direction
 
Now we've got the strength and the power can we do it right?
(How can you tell?) how can you tell that the time is right?
(We've been too far) we've been too far away for far too long
(And everything) and everything has been going wrong
Gotta make some changes in your life before it's too late
Open up your eyes and come along.
 
(We gotta go) we gotta go where the air is clean
(We gotta go) we gotta step into another dream
There's a new direction we can go.
 
People walk around like there's no tomorrow every day
(But if you do) but if you do it's gonna be that way
(So if you think) so if think that you're a winning team
(You gotta be) you gotta be the best there's ever been.
 
We can pull together and we'll stand, and be side-by-side
There is a new direction we can go.
(We gotta go) we gotta go where the air is clean
(We gotta go) we gotta step into another dream
There is a new direction we can go.
 
Don't you think it's been too long now?
There is a new voice crying out
We can pull together, you will see...you will see.
 
We can work together and we'll stand, and be side-by-side
There is a new direction we can go.
(We gotta go) we gotta go where the air is clean
(We gotta go) we gotta step into another dream
There is a new direction we can go.
 
(We gotta go) we gotta go where the air is clean
(We gotta go) we gotta step into another dream
There is a new direction we can go.
(We gotta go) there's a new direction
(We gotta go) there is a new direction
(We gotta go) there is a new direction
(We gotta go) in a new direction.
