A World in New Light
Create a romantic, luminous orchestral musical-theater duet with a fairy-tale feel. Use a gentle waltz-like tempo, sweeping strings, warm woodwinds, and soft piano that gradually builds to a glowing, heartfelt chorus. Include tender vocals that grow more expressive and hopeful, capturing the wonder of seeing the world in a new light.
Lyrics
The dust has settled on the windowsillThe tea has cooled within the cupI walked these halls until the air grew stillAnd never thought of looking upThen you arrived and swept the drapes asideTo let the morning tumble inThe heavy doors are swinging open wideI’m ready for it to beginEverything is newIt’s a different kind of viewI see the colors waking upBecause of youEverything is newClearer than the morning dewI see a world I never knewEverything is newI used to think the sky was only grayA ceiling painted by the rainBut now the clouds are moving out the wayAnd light is dancing in the laneYou take my hand and point toward the treesWhere every leaf is tipped with greenI feel the change inside the summer breezeA beauty that I’d never seenEverything is newIt’s a different kind of viewI see the colors waking upBecause of youEverything is newClearer than the morning dewI see a world I never knewEverything is newThe clock is ticking but the time has stoppedWe’re standing in a glass balloonEvery single heavy weight has droppedWe’re reaching for the afternoonEverything is newIt’s a different kind of viewI see the colors waking upBecause of youEverything is newClearer than the morning dewI see a world I never knewEverything is new
