A New Beginning

Written by：Jordan Rudess/John Petrucci

Father I implore you

Don't believe a word

He is not the enemy

That is just absurd

You may see his talent

As some kind of threat

But I knew we were meant to be

From the day we met

Give us both a chance

For a new beginning

Nothing would mean more to me

He is just a man

Can't you show him mercy

Sympathy and strength go hand in hand

This man's a fraud and hoax

He'll only shatter your hopes

Saddest of all is to watch how

You fall for this person who you hardly know

Ignorant stubborn

You have no respect

Not just for her flesh and blood

That I knew you'd protect

Listen without judgement

Keep an open mind

If you cannot see the truth

You're the one who's blind

We don't stand a chance

That is his opinion

Mother can you talk to him

Try to understand

How they must be feeling

Misery's to know what might have been

Why would I ever concede

To listen to this fool

How can you be so naive

You must be living in a world of make believe

Do you really think this charlatan is

Who he claims to be

Not long ago there was a time and place

You too possessed the same desires as faythe

You knew how it felt to feel invisible

Music calmed your soul just like a drug

Remember bug

Father is it true

Bug was always you

Finally I can reveal how music makes me feel

Now you understand

Why I was hiding

This changes everything

I would like a chance

For a new beginning

In the end the final word

Is with me
