Couplet 1

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

Pré refrain

Waiting for a sign
Of a new thing coming
I'm waiting
And I'm listening

Refrain 1

'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

Refrain modifié

I need a new song

Couplet 2

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

Refrain 1

'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

Refrain modifié

I need a new song

Couplet 3

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

Refrain 2

You wrote me a new song
A you broke down the door song
And picked me off the floor song
Oh I

Refrain 3

'Cause I've got a new song
A you're gonna 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

Refrain modifié

I've got a new song
