Lyrics:

Well, it's a New Year, with it comes new hope and new fears.
Met a young man who was in tears,
he asked me, 'What induces us to stay here?'
I said, 'I don't know much and I'm not lying,
but I think you just have to keep on trying.'

And I know I am naive, but if anything
That's what's going to save me
That's what's going to save me

Took a stroll around the neighborhood,
where the trees are swaying.
People passed in cars with their windows down,
with a pop song playing.
A man walked by, rocking back and forth the street,
with a drunken smile to go along.
He stopped to look at me and said,
'Child, don't fear doing things wrong.'

Yet I am still afraid, but if anything
That's what's going to save me
That's what's going to save me

Now I have a lot to learn and I'm starting tonight,
got to stop looking at things like they're black and they're white.
Got to write more songs, love a little more, treat my friends better.
Got to stop worrying about everything to the letter.
And sometimes when it's too hard to get on,
it just might be you that I'll call upon.

But I find it hard to believe,
but if anything that's what's going to save me
That's what's going to save me

Tell me, tell me
Oh, what's going to save me?
