There’s a new me coming out
And I just have to live
And I want to give
I’m completely positive
I think this time around

Oh, I’ll make it through

The time has come for me
To break out of the shell
I have to shout
That I am coming out

I’ve got to show the world
All that I want to be
And all my abilities
There’s so much more to me
Somehow, I’ll have to make them
Just understand
I got it well in hand
And, oh, how I’ve planned
I’m spreadin’ love
There is no need to fear
And I just feel so good
Every time I hear
