Jason Robert Brown - The New World lyrics

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