Naomi Raine - Brand New Lyrics
Lyrics
Finally got a chance to catch my breath, think it over
'Cause even if the pain don't end, I'm so much stronger (So much stronger)
Yeah, I can finally see, it's been Your grace guiding me
Into brand new mercy every mornin'
Everything's brand new, oh
I'm starting to see again (See again)
I'm trying to live again
Everything's made new, ooh
I'm learning to love again (Learning to love again)
I'm starting to breathe again (Starting to breathe again)
I made up my mind that even if I never find
The fairytale ending, it's just a chapter (It's only just a chapter)
So I'm choosin' to live so secure, knowing this
Jesus, You're my happily ever after
Everything's brand new, oh
I'm starting to see again (I'm starting to see again)
I'm trying to live again (Trying to live again)
Everything's made new (Everything's made new, ooh)
I'm learning to love again (I'm learning to love again)
I'm starting to breathe again (I'm starting to breathe again)
(I'm breathing in) I'm breathing in
(I'm breathing in) Oh, ooh
(I'm breathing in) I'm breathing out again
(I'm breathing in) Oh
(I'm breathing in) I'm breathing out again
(I'm breathing in) I'm breathing in
(I'm breathing in, I'm breathing out again)
I'm breathing in
I'm breathing out again
Oh, I'm still breathing
I'm breathing out again (I'm breathing out again)
I'm breathing in (Oh), I'm breathing out again
I'm breathing out again
Alright, let me do it again

Meaning & Inspiration
Naomi Raine's "Brand New," released in 2022 as part of her album *Journey*, is a powerful declaration of renewal and hope, rooted deeply in the unwavering faithfulness of God. The song emerges from a space of introspection and struggle, acknowledging that even when circumstances remain difficult, a profound strength is found in Christ's sustaining grace. This is not a superficial optimism, but a hard-won resilience that comes from recognizing divine guidance. Raine articulates this beautifully, stating, "even if the pain don't end, I'm so much stronger," a sentiment echoed in scripture where Paul writes in 2 Corinthians 12:10, "For when I am weak, then I am strong." The core message revolves around the transformative power of God's mercy, experienced anew each morning, a concept directly aligned with Lamentations 3:22-23: "Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness."
The repeated chorus, "Everything's brand new," encapsulates the profound shift that occurs when one encounters God's grace. It's an invitation to see, live, and love again, to breathe freely after periods of hardship or stagnation. This rebirth is not about erasing the past, but about experiencing it through a new lens of divine perspective. The lyrics suggest a conscious decision to embrace this newness, acknowledging that earthly expectations of a "fairytale ending" are fleeting, but finding ultimate fulfillment in Jesus, who represents the true and enduring "happily ever after." This resonates with the prophet Isaiah's declaration in Isaiah 43:18-19: "Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert." The act of breathing in and out, emphasized in the bridge, serves as a visceral reminder of life itself, a gift continuously renewed by God. It's a testament to His sustaining presence, a quiet, powerful confirmation that "I'm still breathing" because He is faithful. This journey of becoming "brand new" is a process of actively participating in the new life God offers, trusting His plan even when the path is unclear, and recognizing that His love and mercy are the bedrock of any lasting joy.
