i can see my new world now
i will step out of the darkness
i've set for myself
the new world coming
they were right when they said
it won't always be like this
its breathing inside me
as i stand in my cave
its approaching reality
one step, two three steps
leaving the old, inviting the new
taking control of me...i'm new now
a new bright world, right there
on the tip of my tongue.. i wait
wait for it to explode outside of me
this wait...the strain
can't stop now...and then
bang...
i'm here
i'm alive
i'm not the way i was
i'm living
i'm breathing
i'm new
