Yesterday I was on the edge
Hoping everything was going to work itself out
A good honest man doing the work of God
Trying to make things better for Him
A lover of life in a school for fools
Trying to find another way to survive
New Music, new Music, new Music
Sweet Music can lighten us
Can brighten the world – can save us

My friend said,
‘Well, I think I found a way to help make myself richer!’
I said, ‘Don’t you know, well, it won’t be too long
Before the bad ol’ devil will get you back.’
I said, ‘Put back your heart, and sing, sing
While you know you’re still living.’
Sing, sing, sing, while you know there’s still –
New Music, new Music, new Music
Sweet Music can lighten us
Can brighten the world – can save us

Oh! Take a look at the world
Think about how it will end
There’d be no wars in the world
If everybody joined the band
Think about the light in your eyes
Think about what you should know
There’d be no wars in the world
If everybody joined in the show – oh, oh
Think about the light in your eyes
Think about what you should know
There’d be no wars in the world
If everybody joined in the show
… In the show
New Music, new Music, new Music
Sweet Music can lighten us
Can brighten the world – can save us
