I saw the sunrise on the hill
and at once I remembered how it felt
to feel warm and safe inside
it was like waking for the first time
in a long time and in my mind
the seasons changed and winter died, bye bye

my world is brighter
my view much wider
new beginning
first breath of air
I'm so aware of
new beginning
I'm thankful for the chance to start again
I've turned the page, a change came with the wind
it's not the end, it's a new beginning

after the rain washed my soul
and turned a bitterness to innocence I knew
the path was open to move on
allow me to offer you my hand
let me introduce myself again
the girl I used to be is gone, so long

my world is brighter
my view much wider
new beginning
first breath of air
I'm so aware of
new beginning
I'm thankful for the chance to start again
I've turned the page, a change came with the wind
it's not the end, 
it's a new beginning

got a new state of mind
I left that other world behind me
it's been a long hard climb
but on this mountain top is where you'll find me

my world is brighter
my view much wider
new beginning
first breath of air
I'm so aware of
new beginning
I'm thankful for the chance to start again
I've turned the page, a change came with the wind
it's not the end, 
it's a new beginning
