You know, 

I was looking at the condition of the world 

the other day

Seems there's too much killing, 

too much dying, too much pain

I don't know about you, but I'm tired 

Tired of the same old sad song



Sittin' at the window of life 

Watching the world go by

Seeing little brothers and sister

With pain and fear in their eyes



Wishing I could take them

And make them all my own

Giving them hope and peace

Instead of that same old sad song



I will sing unto you a new song

A song about love and peace and joy

For every man, girl, and boy

And I'm tired of singing about the perils of this life

Seems the world is only moaning and groaning

With misery and strife



It's the same old sad song

Yeah, yeah, yeah



Saw an old man on the street

Hurting and so in need

Wish I could take the whole world

And place it at his feet



I wish I could change his walk

And give him a brand new talk

Giving him health and joy

Instead of that same old sad song 



I will sing unto you a new song

A song about love and peace and joy

For every man, girl, and boy

And I'm tired about the perils of this life

Seems the world is only moaning and groaning

With misery and strife



It's the same old sad song

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah



I will sing a new song

A song for the whole world to see

I will lift my voice and cry out

Telling them that you're all they need



Give them hope, joy, peace

A little understanding

That will never, ever fade

I will sing a new song

A song for the whole world to see

Hey, yeah



Just give him your burdens

Then you can sing a new song

Give God your problems

And you will sing a new song

Give him your heartaches

You will sing a new song

Give God your Trials

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah



It's the same old sad song

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah



Tired of the same old, same old sad song
