The album’s grand finale is a euphoric, Dreamwave-infused anthem about the promise of heaven. With sweeping synths and soaring vocals, it’s a celebration of faith and eternal hope.
Heaven in the New World" is a heartfelt journey into the promises of God’s eternal kingdom, brought to life through Retro Sonya’s signature blend of Christian Electronica, Synthwave, and Dreamwave.
With poetic lyrics that echo both scripture and personal longing, the song paints a vivid picture of a future filled with unimaginable peace and joy—a world transformed into the paradise it was always meant to be.
As a teenager, Sonya often found herself staring at the stars, contemplating the vastness of heaven. Inspired by ethereal music like Enya’s, these moments stirred profound questions about God’s presence and the eternal home He has prepared. The song captures that sense of wonder, anchoring its hopeful message in biblical truths such as the promise of a renewed Earth, as described in Revelation.
The Lyrics: A Thematic Breakdown
The song begins with an invitation to envision a paradise beyond human comprehension—a place free from pain, sorrow, and death. It reflects a deep faith in God’s redemptive plan to create a world of eternal joy. The refrain, with its soaring melody, celebrates the hope of beholding God’s face and living in His radiant presence.
The imagery of the “neon-lit city” and “golden streets” combines the retro-futuristic aesthetic of Synthwave with scriptural descriptions of the New Jerusalem, creating a unique blend of nostalgia and divine promise. The bridge emphasizes that heaven’s glory is beyond human understanding, a mystery revealed only through faith.
The Inspiration Behind the Song
The song’s concept evolved from Sonya’s reflections on how heaven isn’t just a distant realm but a renewed Earth—a realization that shaped her understanding of God’s ultimate plan. She beautifully conveys this in the lyrics, reminding listeners that heaven represents the fulfillment of God’s original design for creation: a world unmarred by sin, where God and humanity dwell together in harmony.

"Heaven in the New World" Lyrics
Intro:
Will you walk with me to a beautiful place, a heavenly paradise? A place oh so unfathomable it could not enter a human mind. A place where there is no end to such wonderful joy and peace. Somewhere we can live forever happy and free.
1st verse:
People say that suffering is just a part of life.
And may say that the world is full of pain and strife.
But I know that there's something better to come someday.
For we know that the future world is nothing like the world we live in today.
Refrain:
Oh, heaven in the new world.
Oh, heaven in the new world.
Oh, where there is no suffering or sorrow.
Oh, we'll have hope for tomorrow.
Oh, what a glorious day!
When we behold His face, in the new world.
2nd verse:
Heaven will be coming down to Earth, and we will see,
That beautiful great neon-lit city.
We will tread on its wonderous golden streets.
There will be no more night, for day will never cease.
Bridge:
Eye has not seen, ear has not heard,
Nor has it entered within an earthly mind,
The things that the Lord has prepared for us.
3rd verse:
In heaven, there will be no more sorrow, death, nor sickness.
And our homes will be mansions full of great riches.
From our eyes, God will wipe every tear away.
There will be neither crying nor pain.
