lyrics

I can see it in my dreams, the new world
Leave your things and come and see the new world
the old world turns; it fades and burns
the old men argue but they never learn
but our dreams come true in the new world

They might tell you its a dream, the new world
but close your eyes and you can see the new world
the lullaby the seagulls cry
the road you follow without knowing why
it all waits for you in the new world

No more shadows, no more war
no more smoke to hide the stars
Paper birds that turn to swallows
Darling, I'll be there tomorrow

Look for me when you get to the new world
and hand in hand we'll make it through the new world
this world will be a memory
we'll know our way down streets we've never seen
and I'll dream with you
where our dreams come true
it all waits for you
in the new world
