About This Song


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 [updated]

Written by Dave Grandel

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
