New Country

So hopeful, so gentle, he takes me by the hand

And leads me by water and onto promised land

So simple aritual to leave it all behind

What I search the words for, he speaks in space and time

And oh, what I find it captures me!

In the wide open spaces of a new country

So simple, so honest, he draws me to his side

A child lies in his arms, a storm eased by the calm

So simple. this ritual, to leave the past behind

What I search the words for, he speaks in space and time

And oh, what I find it captures me!

In the wide, open spaces of a new country

I am found in a wilderness of rare beauty

In the wide open spaces of a new country
