It’s a new October
It’s a brand new spring
It’s not what comes after
It’s the start of everything
The kites are flying
A different remedy
It’s a blue milk Monday
For all to see
Every day is Friday
Every day’s the same
It’s a new October
Just with a different name

It’s a new October
It’s a brand new spring
It’s a new October
The start of everything

It’s a new October

We’ll light the lantern
In the growing dark
We’ll raise the standard
Right from the start
Sing hallelujah
And praise amen
It’s a new October
As it starts again

It’s a new October

When the wind stops blowing
And the kites come down
You’re left with knowing
Your dream in on the ground
Are your arms not ready
To pick it up once more
Is your heart too heavy
From keeping score

It’s a new October
It’s a brand new spring
It’s a new October
The start of everything

It’s a blue October
Just the same old thing
