Donovan New Year's lyrics

Donovan
Open Road
New Year's
Do what you've never done before
See what you've never seen
Feel what you've never felt before
Go where you've never been
Sing what you've never sung before
Say what you've never said
Bear what you've never borne before
Hear what you've never heard

All is not as it would appear
Nothing ever remains the same
Change is life's characteristic
Bend and flow play the game
Lose your chain
And do what you like
Get on your bike and do what you like

So many time I was the one who stopped myself from doing things
So many times I was the one who grounded myself and clipped my wings

So I say

Do what you've never done before
For fear of losing face
You have nothing to defend now
In your state of grace
So get on your bike and do what you like

Love is the gift of man
Yet he will not receive
Within the church of man
Yet he cannot perceive
Without is the real of man
He yet cannot receive
Man is the plague of man
Yet he will not believe
There go you go I
There go you go I
There go you go I
