lyrics

Don't burden yourself with these New Year's blues.
All of them old times
Are just old news.
Got to find something better to do,
Than to burden yourself,
Don't burden yourself.

Offer yourself a helping hand.
Go on and tell yourself that you understand.
Go out and get it any way you can,
Offer yourself a helping hand.

Climb on up to the top of the tree
Balance on the branches,
Look out at the sea.
There's different ideas of what it means to be free,
Climb on up, look out at the sea.

There's a new sun rising
and last night dying.
Plenty of time if you make up your mind.
A new sun rising
A new sun rising.
You're not too old yet,
So quit your crying.

Find yourself
A better way,
Don't be listening to what they all say.
Ain't no rules that you have to obey,
Just find yourself
A better way.

Let yourself do whatever you feel.
Don't take no orders,
Don't make no deals.
It is real
If you say it is real,
Do what you want,
Don't make no deals.

Climb on up to the top of the tree
Swing from the branches,
Right into the sea.
Nobody knows what it means to be free,
Climb on up, look out at the sea.
