Nothing New
Labyrinth Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Trying to remember
Now I realize
That a new life is born

A very little step ahead
And the bad tales of yesterdays (are) behind
Tomorrow won't be easy but
Our shoulders now are strong enough

Nothing new under the sun
Don't look back follow your stars
Past is gone open your eyes

Every one has a path
I want to ride in mine with an open mind
Nothing is for free here
Sometimes the strength is hard to find

Nothing new under the sun




Don't look back follow your stars
Past is gone open your eyes
