Franklins Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
VERSE 1:
We don't like how the world is turning...
Something is always yearning...
Yearning for a brand new world...
Old man seen in a bar room door...
Still can't find what he's searching for...
And though we send rockets to the moon & the stars...
And though we make trains and ships that go very far...
And there's not a mountain, that a man has not climbed...
Yet a brand new world he will never find...
HOOK:
Cause if you wanna brand new world...
You gotta have a brand new people...
And if you wanna brand new people...
You gotta have a brand new life...
And if you wanna brand new life...
You gotta have a brand new spirit...
And if you wanna brand new spirit...
You gotta come to Jesus Christ...
VERSE 2:
Teenagers try everything they could...
Yet I wonder If they ever would...
Find themselves a brand new world...
Jesus knew, that's why he came to bare a cross of sin and shame...
So he could bring us all a new world...
And though we change governments many times in our lives...
The world is still the same, why can't we realize...
That you can't change a man from the outside my friend...
Oooh a brand new world begins within...
HOOK:
Cause if you wanna brand new world...
You gotta have a brand new people...
And if you wanna brand new people...
You gotta have a brand new life...
And if you wanna brand new life...
You gotta have a brand new spirit...
And if you wanna brand new spirit...
You gotta come to Jesus Christ...
BRIDGE:
Ooooh... Ooooooh... Oooooooh...
Ooooh... Ooooooh... Oooooooh...
Ooooh... Ooooooh... Oooooooh...
HOOK:
If you wanna brand new world...
You gotta have a brand new people...
And if you wanna brand new people...
You gotta have a brand new life...
And if you wanna brand new life...
You gotta have a brand new spirit...
And if you wanna brand new spirit...
You gotta come to Jesus Christ...
OUTRO:
Uhhh... La da daaa, La da daaa,
Oooooooh ahhh...
You gotta come to Jesus Christ...
The lyrics of Franklin's song "New World" delve into the dissatisfaction and longing for change in the world. The opening lines express a discontent with the current state of affairs, emphasizing the constant yearning for something better. The image of an old man in a bar room door suggests that despite the passage of time, he still hasn't found what he's searching for, emphasizing the elusive nature of a "brand new world." The lyrics highlight humanity's technological advancements, such as sending rockets to the moon and building trains and ships that can travel far, but despite these accomplishments, the quest for a new world remains unfulfilled.
The chorus asserts the interconnectedness of various elements necessary to achieve a new world. To have a brand new world, there must be a brand new people. The idea of new people suggests a change in mindset, values, and behavior. A brand new life is another essential component, implying personal transformation and growth. A brand new spirit, which can only be obtained through Jesus Christ, is also crucial. This points to the idea that spiritual renewal is at the core of achieving a renewed world.
In the second verse, the focus shifts to teenagers and their pursuit of different experiences. Despite their efforts, the lyrics question whether they will ever truly find a brand new world. The mention of Jesus bearing a cross of sin and shame highlights his sacrifice to bring hope and create a new world for humanity. The lyrics then touch on the idea that simply changing governments is not enough to bring about significant change. Instead, transformation begins within each individual, emphasizing the need for self-reflection and introspection.
The bridge serves as a musical interlude, adding emotional resonance to the lyrics without explicitly conveying specific meaning. It allows the listener to absorb and reflect on the ideas presented thus far.
The chorus is repeated once again, reinforcing the interconnectedness of a brand new world, brand new people, a brand new life, and a brand new spirit. The lyrics conclude with the admonition that one must come to Jesus Christ to attain a brand new spirit. This implies that true transformation and the achievement of a new world require a spiritual connection and a change of heart.
Overall, the lyrics of "New World" convey a longing for change and highlight the importance of personal spiritual growth and transformation in creating a better world. It emphasizes that true renewal starts within each individual and extends to society as a whole.
