Well it's a New Year, with it comes more than 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'm 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, walking back and forth the
street with a drunken smile he took home along. He stopped to
look at me and say, '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 of 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 up, it just might be a little call
apart.

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?
