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?
