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?
