John Hamilton Poet Lyric

Listen to poem:

Welcome To a Brand New World, Song Version

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

Lawrence Ingle March 27, 2023 at 2:58 PM It gets more beautiful every time I listen to it. I've been away for awhile. Just dropped by to listen to your song again. I would like to buy some copies of it if you have a place I can purchase and download from? thanks! John Hamilton July 30, 2023 at 1:21 PM Hi Lawrence. No I don't have it for sale anywhere, thanks for your interest though. Jah bless JD

Michael Tor August 28, 2022 at 10:28 PM John this is beautiful in words and in music. Congratulations on this great achievement, and this honor for your effort. Wishing you more success and blessings... John Hamilton July 30, 2023 at 1:20 PM Thanks Michael glad you liked it enough to pass by and comment.

Aditi Mishra November 4, 2020 at 11:41 PM John, I am glad that the first thing I did after coming back to PS was listening to your song. This is such a soulful one! It instantly gives a soothing rhythm with that music and you've penned it so beautifully. I am really enchanted by this one my friend :) John Hamilton November 5, 2020 at 9:30 AM Thanks Aditi glad you're back you were sorely missed, I know my new contest could use some of your brilliance!

Beryl Edmonds October 28, 2020 at 10:49 AM John I’ve just listened to the song, both song and words absolutely beautiful, I do hope this gets put out there, it needs to be heard. Well done, Belle John Hamilton October 28, 2020 at 7:35 PM Hey Belle thanks for the kind visit and generous words, I'm so glad you liked it!

Lawrence Ingle October 15, 2020 at 5:46 PM Hey brother! Back again! I shared your song with my wife and she loves it too! I wish you success in your endeavor to share your music with the music department in New York. I've been aiming to send one of my lyrics to them too, but never could find an address so I could send them my written lyrics. If you happen to have an address associated with the music department in New York then please forward it to me. [email protected] Thanks John Hamilton October 16, 2020 at 8:43 AM Hey Lawrence, nice to see you today, I spoke with another brother who does music, and submits it to HQ's he told me that we can't submit any song we need to be approved and write according to GB request, so I've filled out my application but no requests yet. Take care Jah bless!

Lawrence Ingle October 12, 2020 at 7:46 PM Such a beautiful song! Excellent piano and singing! Thanks for sharing! It puts me in mind of some of the great songs that our organization uses on their videos at the jw headquarters in New York. Keep up the good work! Lawrence Ingle October 14, 2020 at 8:48 PM Nice to meet you too. No I'm not really new here, but I haven't been on here for quite awhile, I've been busy publishing my illustrated children's short story rhyme books on KDP. It's great to know you and others are in the truth. Yes, your song has great appeal and I will be playing it again. I have one on CD called "Dearest Heavenly Father" that I sent to Nashville at Paramount Group Inc. and had it recorded. If you would like to record it for me I would pay you to do it in a different melody than the country melody it's been done in. I can email it to you in your email. The words are here in my online poems gallery. [email protected] John Hamilton October 13, 2020 at 7:13 AM Hey Lawrence nice to meet you my brother, I think we're 5or6 JW's on the site are you new to the soup? I've volunteered to write songs for HQ but no response yet. I'm so glad you liked it, it seems to appeal to everyone so far!

M.P. Shaudd October 5, 2020 at 2:26 PM John, I can almost sense a video for this as well as thinking it fits great into a gospel, uplifting style of music. I’m not sure how to explain it but for me it kind of starts out sounding melancholy but builds into something more. For me, that is what makes it work so well. Well done! John Hamilton October 6, 2020 at 9:03 AM Thanks M.P I'm glad you came by and left a great comment, you got me thinking about a video now, let's see what I can come up with!

Angela Crabtree September 26, 2020 at 2:11 PM Awesome song, John! it is very comforting. Peace, Angie John Hamilton September 26, 2020 at 4:35 PM Thanks Angela nice to have you visit my page, I think your first time, welcome to my page, and thanks for your kind comment!

Edward Ibeh September 10, 2020 at 4:19 PM Such an uplifting and hopeful song beautifully sung, John:-) This is exactly the type of song the world needs right now. You're just as exceptional a poet as you are a songwriter! I really loved it. Heartiest congratulations on the POTD recognition! John Hamilton September 10, 2020 at 5:33 PM Thanks Edward so kind of you to drop in with your congrats, thanks for your support!

Sandra Adams September 10, 2020 at 8:07 AM John, this is absolutely beautiful... i am sorry it took me so long to make an appearance...i love this! Your words are so hopeful and the music goes great with them! hugs John Hamilton September 10, 2020 at 9:04 AM Thanks Sandy no worries just glad you were able to come by, so glad you enjoyed it, I thought you would. Take care JD

Heather Crismond September 8, 2020 at 6:38 PM John that is amazing. We are on the fence at this very moment. I know so many people who know in their hearts this truth, yet I think the problem lays in everyone seeing themselves as separate and what can one person do. Keep shouting your truth and I will do the same and eventually people will find their truth and join us. It's the only outcome I see because the other side of the fence is unthinkable. John Hamilton September 8, 2020 at 6:50 PM Thanks Heather I'm glad you were able to come by and enjoyed the song, also glad you look forward to this brand new world, it's time for God's will to be done!
