[Badger and Crow:] 

What we want is a brand new year 

Open your heart and set us free 

What we need is a brand new life 

We'll decide on our own destiny 



[Woodland Creatures:] 

What we want is a brand new life 

For every brother and sister - husband and wife 

For the single and lonely, living in fear 

What we want is a brand new year 



[Crow:] 

While this year is still young enough for laughter 

We must insist that no tears follow after 

Resolve to be strong 

And right the wrong 

Inflicted on you and me 



[Woodland Creatures:] 

What we want is a brand new life 

For every brother and sister - husband and wife 

For the single and lonely, living in fear 

What we want is a brand new year 



[Crow:] 

You know there are changes waiting in the future 

Some of them'll hurt yer, some of them'll suit yer 

One thing to be certain of 

You control your own destiny 



[Woodland Creatures:] 

What we want is a brand new life 

For every brother and sister - husband and wife 

For the single and lonely, living in fear 

What we want is a brand new year 



[Jay and Badger:] 

What we want is a new conception 

A child to lead us out of here 

Free from mistrust with no deception 

What we want is a brand new year 



[Crow, Jay:] 

While the midnight bells are rung 

We are waking from a peaceful dream 

Where children go to school 

And play the fool 

Decide their own destiny 



[Hogarth:] 

While this year's still young 

You've got to show us that our kids are totally free 

They wanna go to school, they wanna play the fool 

They gotta decide on their own destiny 

They have to guide the course of their own destiny 

They gotta have pride enough to know their own destiny 



[Woodland Creatures:] 

What we want is a brand new year 

Open your hearts and set them free 

What we want is a brand new life 

And to decide on our own destiny 



[Hogarth, Crow:] 

What do we want 

What do we need 

What do we want right now 

What do we need right here 

We want a brand new life now 

We need a brand new year 



[Jay:] 

Woooooooooooh! 



[Chorus:] 

All shall be well 

And all shall be well 

And all manner of things
