BADGER and CROW

What we want is a brand new year

Open your heart and set us free

What we need is a brand new life

We'll decide on our own destiny



WOODLAND CREATURES

What we want is a brand new life

For every brother and sister - husband and wife

For the single and lonely, living in fear

What we want is a brand new year



CROW

While this year is still young enough for laughter

We must insist that no tears follow after

Resolve to be strong

And right the wrong

Inflicted on you and me



WOODLAND CREATURES

What we want is a brand new life

For every brother and sister - husband and wife

For the single and lonely, living in fear

What we want is a brand new year



CROW

You know there are changes waiting in the future

Some of them'll hurt yer, some of them'll suit yer

One thing to be certain of

You control your own destiny



WOODLAND CREATURES

What we want is a brand new life

For every brother and sister - husband and wife

For the single and lonely, living in fear

What we want is a brand new year



JAY and BADGER

What we want is a new conception

A child to lead us out of here

Free from mistrust with no deception

What we want is a brand new year



CROW JAY

While the midnight bells are rung

We are waking from a peaceful dream

Where children go to school

And play the fool

Decide their own destiny



HOGARTH

While this year's still young

You've got to show us that our kids are totally free

They wanna go to school, they wanna play the fool

They gotta decide on their own destiny

They have to guide the course of their own destiny

They gotta have pride enough to know their own destiny



WOODLAND CREATURES

What we want is a brand new year

Open your hearts and set them free

What we want is a brand new life

And to decide on our own destiny



HOGARTH CROW

What do we want

What do we need

What do we want right now

What do we need right here

We want a brand new life now

We need a brand new year



JAY

Woooooooooooh!



CHORUS

All shall be well

And all shall be well

And all manner of things
