Tonight's the Night the World Begins Again

[jamesq]

And you ask me what I want this year
And I try to make this kind and clear
Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days
Cuz I don't need boxes wrapped in strings
And desire and love and empty things
Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days

So take these words
And sing out loud
Cuz everyone is forgiven now
Cuz tonight's the night the world begins again

And it's someplace simple where we could live
And something only you can give
And thats faith and trust and peace while we're alive
And the one poor child that saved this world
And there's 10 million more who probably could
If we all just stopped and said a prayer for them

So take these words
And sing out loud
Cuz everyone is forgiven now
Cuz tonight's the night the world begins again

I wish everyone was loved tonight
And somehow stop this endless fight
Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days

So take these words
And sing out loud
Cuz everyone is forgiven now
Cuz tonight's the night the world begins again
Cuz tonight's the night the world begins again

And now I know that you are a better poet than I.

Copying Goo Goo Doll lyrics makes me a better poet than you? Um, OK.

Just heard the song for the first time the other day and loved it.

You forgot to note where the lyrics came from. Looking back I see that you were listening to the goo goo doll music, but that does not necessarily mean that that is where you found the words. Especially to one who has not heard their performances.

Welcome to 2006. One year closer to my return to civilization.
