Brave New World

by Torn Chorus

/

about

This song is the last in a trilogy about the experience of lockdown in New Zealand.
We’ve been knocked flat on our faces by this virus, a tiny terrorist not even visible to the naked eye. And now things that we took as certainties are not looking so sure.
I guess this demonstrates that we are not all-powerful and we still have a lot to learn about our world.
Let’s hope we use this experience as a valuable stepping-stone in our evolution and permanently change our priorities about what is important.

lyrics

After the storm, when the clouds have cleared
See what’s good and what’s right
After the fire, when the smoke has gone
Examine what’s left of our life

We played the game and stayed inside
But some still made the sacrifice
We pulled the threads that bound us close
And turned our backs on paradise

Now who are we to call the shots
As we fly our flags unfurled
It’s time to march to a different song
It’s time for our Brave New World

As we’re swept into the great unknown
We don’t know what we should do
Our world just got a whole lot smaller
At the same time it got bigger, too

We know in our hearts what’s important
We know in our souls what to do
It’s part of our new evolution
It’s part of our new point of view

Now who are we to call the shots
As we fly our flags unfurled
It’s time to march to a different song
It’s time for our Brave New World
