Jekyll and Hyde
Linda Eder and Robert Cuccioli Lyrics

A new life, what I wouldn't give
The desire for a fresh start is so strong that the person is willing to give up anything for it

To have a new life
To experience a life that is different from the current one, something that is new and refreshing

One thing I have learned as I go through life
The singer has gained some insight about life as he or she has experienced it

Nothing is for free along the way
Everything has a cost attached to it, there are no free rides in life

A new start, that's the thing I need
A new beginning is necessary to move on from the past and start fresh

To give me new heart
To infuse energy and enthusiasm for life again

Half a chance in life to find a new part
A small opportunity to discover a new role or direction in life is all that is needed

Just a simple role that I can play
An uncomplicated path that can be followed without complications

A new hope, something to convince me
A spark of optimism that can convince the person that things will improve

To renew hope
To refresh the person's belief in a better future

A new day, bright enough to help me
A day that is filled with light and positivity which can lead the person towards a better life

Find my way
To discover the right path that will lead to a more fulfilling life

A new chance, one that maybe has
An opportunity that is different from the previous ones, which can bring about a positive change

A touch of romance
A hint of affection and love that can make the journey along the new path more enjoyable

Where can it be
The search for this opportunity is ongoing and the singer is wondering where it can be found

The chance for me?
A personal opportunity that can be seized by the artist to bring about a new start

A new dream, I have one I know
A dream that is unique and feels like it belongs only to the artist

That very few dream
A dream that is unconventional and is not shared by many people

I would like to see that overdue dream
The person has waited for so long that it feels like the dream is overdue and should have already come true

Even though it never may come true
Despite the possibility that the dream may not materialize, the person continues to hold on to it

A new love though I know
The artist desires to experience a new kind of love regardless of the fact that true love may not exist

There's no such thing as true love
The person is cynical about the notion of true love and how it is portrayed in movies and novels

Even so although I never knew love
Despite the fact that true love has never been experienced, the desire to find it remains

Still I feel that one dream is my due
The artist believes that they are deserving of this one dream, even though it may prove to be elusive

A new world, this one thing I want
The singer desires a world that is different from the current one, filled with new opportunities

To ask of you world
The request is directed towards the world, as if it is a living entity that can provide what the person needs

Once before it's time to say adieu, world
Before it is too late or before the person leaves this world, they want to experience a new life

One sweet chance to prove the cynics wrong
A chance to show those who are cynical that a new start is indeed possible and that it can lead to a better life

A new life more and more I'm sure
The person has become increasingly convinced that a new life is necessary for a fulfilling existence

As I go through life, just to play the game
To find one's way through life by taking risks and making choices that may not always lead to success

And to pursue life, just to share it's pleasures and belong
To seek out the beauty and joy that life has to offer and to find one's place in the world

That's what I've been here for all along
The purpose of the person's life has always been to find a place to belong and to enjoy the pleasures of life

Each day's a brand new life
Every day brings with it new opportunities and possibilities for a new beginning
