Welcome To a Brand New World

Welcome to a brand new world

Verse 1
How are you feeling right now?
Is there still a yearning in your heart?
You're probably like, ten million or more,
praying for a brand new start

Verse 2
What happened to the world you imagined?
Where justice and peace ruled the day...
Is it merely a dream or wishful thinking,
a fantasy that leads you astray


Chorus
Welcome to a brand new world...
where evil men cannot be found
No reason to fear the nighttime,
a place where you feel safe and sound
This is not just a dream...it's reality,
joy in the heart of each boy and girl,
Welcome to a brand new world!


Verse 3
God has shown us how to love
So why is true peace elusive?
Monsters and imposters hide who they are,
they send out doves with a Judas kiss


Verse 4
It's been about two thousand years now
Praying for God's kingdom to come
Now's not the time to lose patience or faith,
it's time for God's will to be done


Chorus
Welcome to a brand new world...
where evil men cannot be found
No reason to fear the nighttime,
a place where you feel safe and sound
This is not just a dream...it's reality,
joy in the heart of each boy and girl,
Welcome to a brand new world!

Welcome to a brand new world!
Welcome to a brand new world!
Welcome to a brand new world!

repeat and fade

I read this and I thought it had been written recently. I was utterly amazed to find it was written in early Dec. I believe a brand new world is on it's way. It has to be we are no longer a sustainable race. I'm going to be thinking about this all day :)

I agree, can't wait. But need to be patient & wait till all things take place according to Jehovah's will. When he makes the whole world a Paradise. Take care. T. O.

So true, "they send out doves with a Judas kiss"; is there or has there every been such a things as justice on our planet? I don't think there has been since the dawn of humankind. Perhaps one day? Well penned.

Yes it's true, humans have caused nothing but trouble since the day of creation and disobedience from God, but as the song shows there is hope for paradise to be restored to the earth. Glad you liked it enough to comment M.L!

Thanks Sandy, I thought you might comment on this, it's not for everyone's taste...so thank you. We believe this will be reality soon, the Bibles message is clear in the beginning paradise was lost, and in the end paradise will be restored to the earth, we hope to live to see it!
