Opening: The New World

ANDREA
A new world calls across the ocean
A new world calls across the sky
A new world whispers in the shadows
“Time to fly, time to fly…”

BROOKS
It’s about one moment
The moment before it all becomes clear
And in that one moment
You start to believe there’s nothing to fear
It’s about one second
And just when you’re on the verge of success
The sky starts to change
And the wind starts to blow

And oh, you’re suddenly a stranger
There’s no explaining where you stand
And you didn’t know
That you sometimes have to go
‘Round an unexpected bend,
And the road will end
In a new world.

ANDREA
A new world calls for me to follow
A new world waits for my reply
A new world holds me to a promise
Standing by,
Standing by…

JESSICA
It’s about one moment
That moment you think you know where you stand
But in that one moment
The things that you’re sure of slip from your hand
And you’ve got one second
To try to be clear, to try to stand tall
But nothing’s the same
And the wind starts to blow

And oh, you’re suddenly a stranger
In some completely different land
And you thought you knew
But you didn’t have a  clue
That the surface sometimes cracks
To reveal the tracks
To a new world

BILLY
You have a house in the hills

JESSICA
You have a job on the coast

BROOKS
You find a lover you’re sure you believe in

BILLY
You get a pool in the back

JESSICA
You get the part of your life

BROOKS
You hold the ring in your hand

BILLY
But then the earthquake hits

JESSICA
Then the bank closes in

BROOKS
Then you realize you didn’t know anything…

BROOKS, JESSICA & BILLY
Nobody told you the best way to steer
When the wind starts to blow
And oh, you’re suddenly a stranger
And life is different than you planned
And you have to stay
‘Til you somehow find a way
To be sure of what will be,
Then you might be free…

ANDREA
A new world crashes down like thunder
A new world charging through the air

ANDREA & BILLY
A new world just beyond the mountain

ANDREA, BILLY & JESSICA
Waiting there…
Waiting there…

ALL
A new world shattering the silence
There’s a new world I’m afraid to see
A new world louder every moment
“Come to me! Come to me!”
