New Song

She walked in the room and showed me a tattoo

Of a bird on her arm

She told me about what she'd been through

And all she lost in the storm

And then she talked 'bout a story that she heard of sailors lost at sea

They'd keep their eyes on the horizon

And listen for the birds to sing

Waiting for a sign

Of a new thing coming

I'm waiting and I'm listening

'Cause I need a new song

A "You're gonna see me through" song

And "get me to that shore" song

Oh, I

I need a new song

A "You brought me through that storm" song

Oh I, I need a new song

I need a new song

You say Your mercy's new in the morning

But will the sun ever rise

'Cause I've been waiting, I keep praying

Scared I'm running outta time

Waiting for a sign

Of a new thing coming

I'm waiting and I'm listening

'Cause I need a new song

A "You're gonna see me through" song

And "get me to that shore" song

Oh, I

I need a new song

A "You brought me through that storm" song

Oh I, I need a new song

I need a new song

I waited patiently

You turned and heard my cry

From the pit You lifted me

Out of the mud and mire

You set my feet on rock

Gave me a place to stand

Put a new song in my mouth

And took me by the hand

And I am not alone

You've not forsaken me

You're doing something new

And I can hear the birds sing

You wrote me a new song

A "You broke down the door" song

And "picked me off the floor" song

Oh, I

Now I've got a new song

A "You'll always see me through" song

And "get me to that shore" song

Oh, I

I've got a new song

A "He brought me through that storm" song

Oh I, I've got a new song...
