Lyrics
Take your time as you slice through the bullshit.
All the times they told you you were worthless without using words.
Don't listen to the voices in your head.
Put them to sleep when you lie down in bed.
If you don't believe in you, how can they?
If you don't make a dream for you, you'll lose your way.
So hold on as you let go.
Hold on as you let go.
You didn't remember
But I can remind you
Of all that's behind you.
See how far you've come.
This is how your race is won.
Open up your eyes today.
See the world in a whole new way.
The choice is yours to open up that door
To what could be.
Well could it be?
You are new.
Yeah, you are new.
Don't let anyone tell you
It's any other way.
Each instant, each instant, each instant
You are new.
Don't listen to the voices in your head.
Put them to sleep when you lie in bed.
