Opening: The New World lyrics
|
WOMAN 1: 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 MAN 2: 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 WOMAN 1: 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 WOMAN 2: 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 MAN 1: You have a house in the hills WOMAN 2: You have a job on the coast MAN 2: You find a lover you're sure you believe in MAN 1: You've got a pool in the back WOMAN 2: You get to the part of your life MAN 2: You hold the ring in your hand MAN 1: But then the earthquake hits WOMAN 2: And the bank closes in MAN 2: Then you realize you didn't know anything WOMAN 1, WOMAN 2, MAN 1, & MAN 2: Nobody told you the best way to steer When the wind starts to blow MAN 1: And you're suddenly a stranger WOMAN 1, WOMAN 2, & MAN 2: All of a sudden WOMAN 1, WOMAN 2, MAN 1, & MAN 2: You life is different than you planned MAN 1: And you'll have to stay ‘til you somehow find a way WOMAN 1, WOMAN 2, MAN 1, & MAN 2: To be sure of what will be Then you might be free WOMAN 1: A new world crashes down like thunder A new world charging through the air WOMAN 1 & MAN 1: A new world just beyond the mountain WOMAN 1, WOMAN 2, & MAN 1: Waiting there, waiting there WOMAN 1, WOMAN 2, MAN 1, & MAN 2: 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! |
