New World

Words and Music by Kevin Gillis and Jon Stroll
Transcription by Jim Gilsinan IV

There's a ship sailing out tonight,
men and women against the cold,
holding each other tight
for a dream yet to unfold.

As the shore line fades to black,
and you're never going back:
There's a new world.

There's a ship sailing out to sea,
men and women longing to be free,
holding in each other's hearts
the promise of a brand new start,

And for those we leave behind,
you'll be always on our minds
in the new world.

But how
will I ever find it?
And how
will I know it when I do?

Been down so many roads before,
can't find my way no more.
But in the new world . . . ?

There's a ship out there tonight,
so close I can feel you near.
The time for you and me is right
as we cross the new frontier.

And for those we leave behind,
you'll be always on our mind
in the new world.

How
will I ever find it?
And how
will I know it when I do?

Been down so many roads before,
can't find my way no more.
But in a new world . . . ?
