The new moon ain't so new,
it was whistling the same empty tune
last time it didn't come around.

Those blue skies ain't so blue
when you're walking with your head down.

Those mountains ain't so high
until you learn that unearned suffering
is not redemptive
but preemptive.

A single step
a leap of faith
a divide as wide
as your stride

Ain't nothing new!
