This song is a co-write with Stephen Klevas. I saw his original lyrics online, approached him about a co-write, made some adjustments, wrote the music and recorded myself singing/playing guitar.
Thanks to Nathan Meggs for alerting me to the fact that the previous version was not able to be played. [Dropbox related issue, I fear]

New World Waiting
(Words: Klevas, edits/music: Grandel)
Verse 1
In your brown eyes I see the blues, ev’ry subtle shade
The line of clowns who’ve let you down has been a sad parade
So many loose connections, unable to engage
All who’ve played your lover have exited the stage
Close encounters took a terrible toll on you
Verse 2
I have known the consequences of a willpower that fades
Desp'rate as a fugitive out in the everglades
I’ve done time in places where the light cannot invade
Longing for that human touch where none was to be made
Sometimes holding on is all that we can do
Chorus
Something tells me there's a new world waiting
I caught a glimpse of it when I saw you smile
Here is where I'll want to be forever
I've never been more sure,
I know you'll be convinced after a while
Verse 3
I've been waiting for you at love's golden door
Lately all I think about is what I came here for
I’ve been standing outside, ragged, looking worn
Cursing at my solitude, why was I ever born
Verse 4
Maybe if we look together we can find the key
Maybe you can hush a voice that's been taunting me
About holding on to dreams since love slipped away
For far too long I watched as the ends began to fray
Bridge
You and I have both lost things that left us feeling hollow
A little too aware of fear and doubt
But if we say yes to life, I know love will surely follow
All we need's a little time to figure it all out
Chorus
Something tells me there's a new world waiting
I caught a glimpse of it when I saw you smile
Here is where I'll want to be forever
I've never been more sure,
I know you'll be convinced after a while
