[Verse 1]
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."
[Chorus]
And I know I'm naive, but if anything
That's what's going to save me
That's what's going to save me
[Verse 2]
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 he took home along. He stopped to look at me and say, "Child, don't fear doing things wrong."
[Chorus]
Yet I am still afraid but if anything
That's what's going to save me
That's what's going to save me
[Bridge]
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.
[Chorus]
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?
