Lyrics

The whole world's broke and it ain't worth fixing

It's time to start all over, make a new beginning

There's too much pain, too much suffering

Let's resolve to start all over, make a new beginning

Now don't get me wrong, I love life and living

But when you wake up and look around at everything that's going down

All wrong

You see we need to change it now, this world with too few happy endings

We can resolve to start all over make a new beginning

Start all over

Start all over

Start all over

Start all over

The world is broken into fragments and pieces

That once were joined together in a unified whole

But now too many stand alone, there's too much separation

We can resolve to come together in the new beginning

Start all over

Start all over

Start all over

Start all over

We can break the cycle

We can break the chain

We can start all over

In the new beginning

We can learn, we can teach, we can share

The myths, the dreams, the prayer

The notion that we can do better

Change our lives and paths

Create a new world

Start all over

Start all over

Start all over

Start all over

The whole world's broke and it ain't worth fixing

It's time to start all over, make a new beginning

There's too much fighting, too little understanding

It's time to stop and start all over

Make a new beginning

Start all over

Start all over

Start all over

Start all over

We need to make new symbols

Make new signs

Make a new language

With these we'll redefine the world

Oh, start all over

Start all over

Start all over

Start all over

Start all over

Start all over

Start all over

Start all over

Start all over

Start all over

Start all over

Start all over
