about

Another song featuring the lead guitar work of Kenny. A soaring coda that is as moving as it is melodic.
This song was written after most of Brave New World was written, originally penned for another Farrell project: Bend the Horizon, an alternative/crossover prog group TBD in 2020. But the feel of this song began to fit the theme of the B4tF musical story, so it was completed with Kenny singing and adding his guitar work.

lyrics

THE GREAT UNKNOWN

Over the rise
you see what becomes
into your eyes
a world undone
look to the clouds
look to the sun

The distance begins
according to will
the journey relies
on hope and skill
reach for edge
reach for the thrill

BREAK YOUR FALL
AND STAND ALONE
YOU'RE LOOKING FOR
A BRAND NEW HOME
SO BRACE YOURSELF
DON'T FEAR THE GREAT UNKNOWN

Begin to advance
into the unclear
the foreign remote
is prompting fear
fall in to the pain
fall in to the tears

Release what you know
and find what is gone
to see that your life
will carry on
in to the dark
in to the storm

BREAK YOUR FALL
AND STAND ALONE
YOU'RE LOOKING FOR
A BRAND NEW HOME
SO BRACE YOURSELF
DON'T FEAR THE GREAT UNKNOWN

BREATHE THE AIR
AND FREE YOUR MIND
BELIEVE YOU ARE THE HEALING KIND
SO BRACE YOURSELF
DON'T FEAR THE GREAT UNKNOWN

TAKE YOUR TIME
AND FEEL THE GROUND
AMAZED WITH ALL THE SIGHT AND SOUND
SO BRACE YOURSELF
DON'T FEAR THE GREAT UNKNOWN

TAKE THIS CHANCE
TO UNDERSTAND
A SUN BEYOND A DISTANT LAND
SO BRACE YOURSELF
DON'T FEAR THE GREAT UNKNOWN
