New World
With a head full of clouds
And tears that fall like rain
I gaze at the distant forbidding horizon
Wondering if the sun will shine on me once again
The days seem to last forever
And the nights they never end
Memories of you constantly surroud me
You were my lover and my best friend
My heart is shattered and broken
My soul is in a place of sadness
I speak to you but you don't reply
Is there any way to stop this madness ?
Give me a sign show me the way
The future is out there for me
A new vista hopefully beckons
Open my eyes to tomorrow and let me see
Embrace me, engulf me, surround me, astound me, beguile me, smile on me, take me to your bosom The time has come for me to be at peace. Walk with me, talk with me, watch over me Let the sun shine brightly. Let the skies be blue
Let my heart joyfully sing
Let my new world finally begin
