COVID caused a lot of changes and now I’m….
I am
I’m a new man
I am
I’m a new man yeah.
Was a loser that won
Was damaged but fixed
Freed from inside
The war in my head
Busy but idle
Happily unemployed
I was a hazard
I could avoid.
I am
I am a new man
I am
I am a new man yeah.
Destroyed in the past
When young and alive
On fire in the future
Before I survived.
I’m dead right, it’s getting late
Too old to become
Needed to hesitate…
When I was young
For one to be won.
But here and now is
Where I belong.
I am
I’m a new man
I am
I’m a new man yeah.
Not at the end
So that’s not all
Far from the beginning
Of nothing for sure
Was in the middle
But I stepped aside
In the new world
I now reside.
I’m not at the bottom
Nor at the top
I’m outside and now
The chaos has stopped.
The kind of man I was
The kind of man I’ve been
Is not who I am
I’ve become new
By experiencing everything.
I am
I’m a new man
I am
I’m a new man yeah.
I’m not a king
But met a queen
I haven’t a castle
My empire’s a dream…
Come true.
