Welcome To a Brand New World, Song Version

Listen to poem:

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 John Derek Hamilton December 13,2019 Re-posted with music and vocals September 2,2020

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, 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 :)

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. lawrence_ingle@yahoo.com Thanks

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!

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!

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. lawrence_ingle@yahoo.com

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!

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

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!

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

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!

JD, congratulations on your POTD. This lyric has such a lovely flow with a strong hook - a new world with arms open to all. I especially like the last two lines of the third verse. Sending you prayers and blessings! soup mail.

John Hamilton
Date: 9/3/2020 1:26:00 PM

Hi Sam Thanks for your kind visit and words of support, yes those two lines are my favourite as well, kind of summarizes much of this hypocritical world, unless there is change many will not make it!
