Fresh Beginning

Knock me down, I’ll stand back up
Like an old inflated clown
Say I’m good for nothing
And I’ll show you my royal crown
Fire me from my job
And take my pension plan away
I’ll reverse my little gears
And join the Burlington Ballet

A fresh beginning as big as the universe
A fresh beginning greets me every day and night
I’m doing this for myself
Not just to satisfy my friends
I’ve got a new direction
So I’m on my way again

Chaos and confusion
Well you know where they come from
They come from a lack of focus
Don’t let them tell you that you’re dumb
You could be a rocket scientist
You could be the chief of state
So make your quick decision
Cause it ain’t no good to wait

I’m a tricky old dog whose learned a few things
Like a beagle to an eagle now spreading his wings
And I’m a screaming like a demon
As I keep dreaming away (Let’s review now)
Chaos confusion and they’ll think you’re dumb
Well you could be the president and beat your own drum and
Do do do do do do whatever you want

A fresh beginning as big as the universe
A fresh beginning greets me every day and night
I’m doing this for myself
Not just to satisfy my friends
I’ve got a new direction
So I’m on my way again
