Brave New World
Steve Miller Band - Steve Band Miller Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We're driving fast
From a dream of the past
To the brave new world

Where nothing will last
That comes from the past
It's a brave new world
Put a smile on your face
As we walk with space
In the brave new world

Now, as you begin
You're born once again
With the rising sun

Something new, nothing old
Something true, something gold

No spirit of the past
Can hold you back
From the brave new world

The direction to start
Is inside your heart
To the brave new world

If you're free in your heart
You can make a new start
It's a brave new world

There's nothing to hide
Leave your troubles behind
It's a brave new world

I told you, my friend
And I'll tell you again
Your trip has begun

Something new, nothing old
Something true, something gold

The direction to start




Is inside your heart
To the brave new world
