BETTER THAN NEW
(Chronister/Logan 2007)
In the spring of ‘82
We were brand new
Love lived in these walls with me and you
Dancin’, dreamin’, laughin’, singin’
Playing house like little children do
But who knew?In the fall of ‘92
We painted them blue
Walls of stubborn pride we couldn’t walk through
Fightin’, hatin’, prayin’, cryin’
Playin’ tug of war like children do
But we knewWe had to...
Undo these layers
That hold up this house
Tear down these walls that are keepin’ Love out
If we go back to the promise
And unprove this doubt
We can take it down to just a brick or two
And make it better than newFound a window open wide
It’s time to fly
Dancin’ through the darkness and the light
We know better when we’re building
A love that’s strong enough to prove us true
And we knew….
We had to...
Undo these layers
That hold up this house
Tear down these walls that are keepin’ Love out
If we go back to the promise
And unprove this doubt
We can take it down to just a brick or two
And make it better than new
