Prologue:
From within a tomb of ice, a lonely and sad voice sang:
A new life
What I wouldn't give
To have a new life!
One thing I have learned
As I go through life
Nothing is for free
Along the way.
A new start
That's the thing I need
To give me new heart
Half a chance in life
To find a new part
Just a simple role
That I can play.
A new hope.
Something to convince me
To renew hope.
A new day
Bright enough
To help me find my way.
A new chance
One that maybe has
A touch of romance.
Where can it be?
The chance for me?
A new dream.
I have one
I know that very few dream.
I would like to see
That overdue dream
Even though
It never may come true.
A new love
Though I know
There's no such thing
As true love
Even so,
Although I never knew love,
Still I feel
That one dream is my due!
A new world
This one thing
I want to ask of you, world
Once—before it's time
To say adieu, world
One sweet chance
To prove the cynics wrong!
A new life
More and more I'm sure,
As I go through life,
Just to play the game
And to pursue life
Just to share its pleasures
And belong
That's why I've been here for
All along
Each day's a brand new life!
