Story Behind The Song
Inspired by the book by Stuart Wilde, 'The Art Of Redemption' & the feeling that there IS somewhere else!

There's a question here...where is the 'new country'? The place where we can be who we really are & not the slaves of a mechanical technological nightmare that drives us on to a frantic future.

Lyrics
A NEW COUNTRY
Don?t tell me ?bout an old country
Wanna find out where the new one is,
You keep singing ?bout an old country,
Can you tell me when the old one left?
I was there singing songs;
A voice that couldn?t go wrong,
Gliding in between worlds,
Among the diamonds & pearls.
And the heart was a bird,
Flying high.
Don?t tell me about the old country,
I wanna find out where the new one is,
You keep singin? about an old country,
Can you tell me where the new one might be?
I have to fly deep inside,
Where the heart cannot hide.
New land comes to view
Can the old world break through?
Time to leave it behind,
If it?s all in the mind,
Merge the past sing today,
And with the flock fly away...
Don?t tell me about an old country,
I wanna find out where the new one is,
You keep talkin? about an old country,
Can you tell me where the new one might be?
