Letra

Letra

I'm a bother to my mother

And my father thinks I'm mad

I've a brother and two sisters

If I'd smother they'd be glad

Every morning I awake

With sunlight in my hair

Then I stretch my arms to take

A handful of the air

Mother, father, sister, brother

There's no other in my heart

All my lifetime lies before me

Please God, let it start

Here I stand with life ahead of me

No place to hide

Today is the first day of the rest of my life

Though it's true what some have said of me

That I'm untried

Today is the first day of the rest of my life

Hushed and scared and flushed and wary

I watch for dawn

All my waiting years suddenly are gone

Wait, don't move, I'm still not ready yet

I need more time to steady my heart

But it's too late

For now it starts

Beat by beat my pulse is quickening

And growing strong

Today is the first day of the rest of my life

One might say my plot's been thickening

For far too long

Today is the first day of the rest of my life

There, right there, the future's gleaming

It blinds my eyes

Soon my world will grow wider than the skies

Wait, don't move, I'm still not grown enough

And yet it's time to own my own heart

I'm not prepared

But let it start!

Old rickety freight train is telling me straight

There's a new life comin'

Each click of the gears puts a song in my ears

There's a new life comin'

I couldn't ignore if I tried

Hearin' those voices outside

Sayin', "Boy, enjoy your joyride"

My troubles at last disappear in the past

There's a new life comin'

Whatever you name, not a thing is the same

There's a new life comin'

What manner of fling will it be?

Who know, who cares?

Just bring my world to me!

Old rickety freight train is telling me straight

There's a new life comin'

Old clickety rails are a-whisperin' tales

Of a new life comin'

I couldn't ignore if I tried (I couldn't ignore if I tried)

Hearin' those voices outside (Hearin' those voices out—)

Sayin', "Boy, enjoy your

"Joyride, joyride" (Joyride, joy)

It's a joyride, it's a joyride

It's a joy to sing

This ugly young duckling is changin' his luck (Speed)

There's a new life comin' (Me to it, and then)

Whatever my fortune I'll carry the torch of a (Sing)

New life comin' (Me to it)

What manner of fling will it be?

Who know, who cares?

Just bring my world to me!

Yeah!
