New Horizons Lyrics
Weight on my shoulders
But I'm walking so tall
Out into the new horizon
Wonder in everything
No matter how great or small
Howlin' like the midnight
Howlin' like the midnight sun
And this ain't no pale reflection
This is the real thing
New horizon
New horizon within
And your heart ain't yours to control
No matter how tight the reigns
Love will find its own direction
A time to reap
A time to sow
And many a time to cry in vain
But now the time to celebrate
The glory of this imperfection
Same thing that's scrawled across the stars
Is written under our skin
New horizon
New horizon within
Things come too easy, I get suspicious
Things come too slow, I get bored
If it don't work out I get superstitious
But if it does, oh my word
So I'm gathering the remnants of beauty
From this wilderness in spin
And now I'm gonna fly my own flag
'Cause I'm charged with the radiance of the dawn
That's been so long breaking
Now there ain't nowhere
There ain't nowhere I won't write your name
There's a time to search for understanding
Sometimes you just gotta sing
New horizon
New horizon within
Baby there's no need to get precious
When you know that everything must change
Complacency, it can be so vicious
Turn this love into a cage
Same thing that's scrawled across the stars
Is written under our skin
New horizon
New horizon within
But I'm walking so tall
Out into the new horizon
Wonder in everything
No matter how great or small
Howlin' like the midnight
Howlin' like the midnight sun
And this ain't no pale reflection
This is the real thing
New horizon
New horizon within
No matter how tight the reigns
Love will find its own direction
A time to reap
A time to sow
And many a time to cry in vain
But now the time to celebrate
The glory of this imperfection
Same thing that's scrawled across the stars
Is written under our skin
New horizon
New horizon within
Things come too slow, I get bored
If it don't work out I get superstitious
But if it does, oh my word
From this wilderness in spin
And now I'm gonna fly my own flag
'Cause I'm charged with the radiance of the dawn
That's been so long breaking
Now there ain't nowhere
There ain't nowhere I won't write your name
There's a time to search for understanding
Sometimes you just gotta sing
New horizon
New horizon within
When you know that everything must change
Complacency, it can be so vicious
Turn this love into a cage
Is written under our skin
New horizon
New horizon within

this song is amazing. "But now the time to celebrate The glory of this imperfection" david gray continues to amaze me w/ every song. thats poetry
One of David's better songs and always one of my favourites. It's uplifting, especially once the bass starts to pound. It's clearly about the start of a new relationship from the perspective of somebody who's experienced the standard negatives from previous ones. This takes place while the niceties and initial infatuation have not yet waned.
One of his best.
to me it speaks of a spiritual awakening
