This year is burning away,
far, far away,
but the greatest hits are playing
across the radio.
Turn it up, DJ.
Let me taste life.
I’m not afraid but brilliant,
and I’m gaga for Gaga.
Let the music speak.
Let me fade away,
but as the stars toss and turn,
fueling my soul with inspiration,
I cannot break free.
This world is still in turmoil,
and I tell myself
to remember the good times,
hold on to the happiness.
But it’s still slipping out of my hands.
We are hurting,
and no light has shined its way
through the darkness
holding our hand.
As the greatest hits turn the beat around,
I know that we are not lost.
All we need is faith,
faith in each other
as INXS so beautifully sings.
All we need is faith
that this world will shine one day
not too far
away,
and a new year
begins.
