Well it´s a new year, with it comes more than new fears.
Met a young man who was in tears, he asked me,
"What induces us to stay here?"
I said, "I don´t know much and I´m not lying,
But I think you just have to keep on trying."

And I know I am naive, but if anything
That´s what´s going to save me
That´s what´s going to save me

Took a stroll around the neighborhood where the trees are swaying.
People passed in cars with their windows down, with a pop song playing.
A man walked by, walking back and forth the street with a drunken smile to go along.
He stopped to look at me and say, "Child, don´t fear doing things wrong."

Yet I am still afraid but if anything
That´s what´s going to save me
That´s what´s going to save me

Now I have a lot to learn and I´m starting tonight,
Got to stop looking at things like they´re black and they´re white.
Got to write more songs of a little more, treat my friends better.
Got to stop worrying about everything to the letter.
And sometimes when it´s too hard to get up,
It just might be a little call apart.

But I find it hard to believe, but if anything
That´s what´s going to save me
That´s what´s going to save me

Tell me, tell me
Oh, what´s going to save me?
