i've been working hard so long
 seems like pain has been my only friend
 my fragile heart's been done so wrong
 i wondered if i'd ever heal again

 ohh just like all the seasons never stay the same
 all around me i can feel a change (ohh)

 i will break these chains that bind me, happiness will find me
 leave the past behind me, today my life begins
 a whole new world is waiting it's mine for the taking
 i know i can make it, today my life begins

 yesterday [bad word] and gone
 and i've learn how to leave it where it is
 and i see that i was wrong
 for ever doubting i could win

 ohh just like all the seasons never stay the same
 all around me i can feel a change (ohh)

 i will break these chains that bind me, happiness will find me
 leave the past behind me, today my life begins
 a whole new world is waiting it's mine for the taking
 i know i can make it, today my life begins

 life's to short to have regrets
 so i'm learning now to leave it in the past and try to forget
 only have one life to live
 so you better make the best of it

 i will break these chains that bind me, happiness will find me
 leave the past behind me, today my life begins
 a whole new world is waiting it's mine for the taking
 i know i can make it, today my life begins

 i will break these chains that bind me, happiness will find me
 leave the past behind me, today my life begins
 a whole new world is waiting it's mine for the taking
 i know i can make it, today my life begins
 today my life begins...
