Text: Smokie Norful. I Need You Now. Same Sad Song.
You know, I was looking at the condition of the world the other day
Seems there's too much killing, too much dying, too much pain
I don't know about you, but I'm tired
Tired of the same old sad song
Sittin' at the window of life
Watching the world go by
Seeing little brothers and sisters
With pain and fear in their eyes
Wishing I could take them
And make them all my own
Giving them hope and peace
Instead of that same old sad song
I will sing unto you a new song
A song about love and peace and joy
For every man, girl and boy
And I'm tired of singing about the perils of this life
Seems the world is only moaning and groaning
With misery and strife
It's the same old sad song
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Saw an old man on the street
Hurting and so in need
Wish I could take the whole world
And place it at his feet
I wish I could change his world
And give him a brand new talk
Giving him health and joy
Instead of that same old sad song
I will sing unto you a new song
A song about love and peace and joy
For every man, girl and boy
And I'm tired of singing about the perils of this life
Seems the world is only moaning and groaning
With misery and strife
It's the same old sad song
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I will sing a new song
A song for the whole world to see
I will lift my voice and cry out
Telling them that you're all they need
Give them love, joy, peace
A little understanding that will never, ever fade
I will sing a new song
A song for the whole world to see, hey, yeah
Just give Him your burdens
Then you can sing a new song
Give God your problems
And you will sing a new song
Give Him your heartaches
You will sing a new song
Give God your trials
Yeah, yeah, yeah
It's the same old sad song
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Tired of the same old, same old sad song
Seems there's too much killing, too much dying, too much pain
I don't know about you, but I'm tired
Tired of the same old sad song
Sittin' at the window of life
Watching the world go by
Seeing little brothers and sisters
With pain and fear in their eyes
Wishing I could take them
And make them all my own
Giving them hope and peace
Instead of that same old sad song
I will sing unto you a new song
A song about love and peace and joy
For every man, girl and boy
And I'm tired of singing about the perils of this life
Seems the world is only moaning and groaning
With misery and strife
It's the same old sad song
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Saw an old man on the street
Hurting and so in need
Wish I could take the whole world
And place it at his feet
I wish I could change his world
And give him a brand new talk
Giving him health and joy
Instead of that same old sad song
I will sing unto you a new song
A song about love and peace and joy
For every man, girl and boy
And I'm tired of singing about the perils of this life
Seems the world is only moaning and groaning

You will sing a new song

Yeah, yeah, yeah
It's the same old sad song
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Tired of the same old, same old sad song
I Need You Now
