All Things New Again

New heaven over a brand new skyNew breed of wonder on the vineAmong the livingThere is new promise in this nightNew arms to hold back the revolutionNew eyes to recognize what you've becomeNew blood to recoverA new will to honor all God's creationsAll things are new againWithin and withoutAll things are new againNew shepherd roaming through the tall grassA new temple rising through the falling ashThat buries the tracksOf millions of boots marching in packsClear water rolling through the dam's collapseOut to the harbor where they're sailing backNew flag on the mastWithout any secrets, without any pastAll things are new againWithin and withoutSooner or later the ending beginsJust then it can be said that all things are new againNew ghost returning to the earth beneath the hazeNew poets burning through the lines of every pageI'm an unpainted portraitI am staring at a new sunsetWithout any memories yetAll things are new againWithin and withoutSooner or later the ending beginsJust then it can be said that all things are new againWithin and withoutSooner or later every season endsThen forever it can be said that all things are new again
