The New World

Brown Jason Robert

A new world calls across the ocean 
A new world calls across the sky 
A new world whispers in the shadows 
Time to fly, time to fly 

It's about one moment 
The moment before it all becomes clear 
And in that one moment 
You start to believe there's nothing to fear 
It's about one second 
And just when you're on the verge of success 
The sky starts to change 
And the wind starts to blow 
And you're suddenly a stranger 
There's no explaining where you stand 
And you didn't know 
That you sometimes have to go 
‘Round an unexpected bend 
And the road will end 
In a new world 

A new world calls for me to follow 
A new world waits for my reply 
A new world holds me to a promise 
Standing by, standing by 

It's about one moment 
That moment you think you know where you stand 
And in that one moment 
The things that you're sure of slip from your hand 
And you've got one second 
To try to be clear, to try to stand tall 
But nothing's the same 
And the wind starts to blow 
And you're suddenly a stranger 
In some completely different land 
And you thought you knew 
But you didn't have a clue 
That the surface sometimes cracks 
To reveal the tracks 
To a new world 

You have a house in the hills 
You have a job on the coast 
You find a lover you're sure you believe in 
You've got a pool in the back 
You get to the part of your life 
You hold the ring in your hand 

But then the earthquake hits 
And the bank closes in 
Then you realize you didn't know anything 
Nobody told you the best way to steer 
When the wind starts to blow 

And you're suddenly a stranger (All of a sudden)
You life is different than you planned 
And you'll have to stay ‘til you somehow find a way 
To be sure of what will be 
Then you might be free 

A new world crashes down like thunder 
A new world charging through the air 
A new world just beyond the mountain 
Waiting there, waiting there 

A new world shattering the silence 
There's a new world I'm afraid to see 
A new world louder every moment 
Come to me, come to me
