New Song
Ginny Owens Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been grazing in the lush green pastures,
Watching time pass me by,
And I've been wading in the shallow waters,
Where everything is all right-
But today I know that something's different,
Something's disturbing my peace,
Oh, I can feel the changes in the distance,
And hear them calling to me-
The day is here, the time has come
To sing a new song,
It's very clear, I must move on,
And sing a new song,
It will define who I become,
This new song,
So show me how to sing along
To this new song-
I've been looking in the strangest places,
To find the source of my strength,
And even though the outcome never changes,
Still I search endlessly,
But no more wandering around in circles,
It's time that I cross the see,
Now I'm trading in my cozy corner
For the bigger mystery
Going there means leaving here,
Saying yes means saying no,




Moving on means letting go of what is sure,
For more

I've been grazing in the lush green pastures,
I've been living a comfortable, easy life.


Watching time pass me by,
Not doing anything to actively engage with my life.


And I've been wading in the shallow waters,
I've been staying safe and not taking any risks.


Where everything is all right-
Where everything is familiar and predictable.


But today I know that something's different,
