New Country

Sarah Blasko

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
