God, give me one shot and I'll break right through

I am starting to be brand new



Rome is burning you can taste the embers

I am walking hard on Spanish Stairs

My Saint was silence rapping on the door

Grown up defiant wanting so much more



Me brand new, say

(Starting over)

Me brand new, say

(Starting over)

Me brand new, say I say



Give me one shot at my life today

One shot at my life today

I don't want to be a stranger



Walk with millions, a delicate few

So sad how loneliness just follows you

New York City streets and avenues

Cut the concrete they march through



Me brand new, say

(Starting over)

Me brand new, say

(Starting over)

Me brand new, say I say



Give me one shot at my life today

One shot at my life today

I don't want to be a stranger



I don't want to be just a passerby

Stand in line wrapped around the world

I don't want to be just a parasite

Holding on tight

Holding on tight



I got this feeling and it's down in my bones

I got this feeling and it's burning up my soul

I got to get just one shot, baby one more day

Got to give me one shot today

I got this feeling just give me one day
