The light on my face
The sun on my skin
I start this new life
But where to begin
Do I walk a new path?
Or continue straight ahead
Do I carry this old baggage?
Or walk empty handed instead
Do I shed this old skin?
And toss it aside
Like a love I have once given
That’s withered and died
Do I again give love freely?
Or hang on to it tight
Should I trust in my heart?
To know which is right
So, until that day comes
My courage I must own
And take that first step
Into the unknown
(Epilogue)
I took that first step
Into the unknown
And the meaning of true love
Again I was shown
I chose my new path
So down it I tread
And chose to go down it
Hand in hand with you instead
I donned my new skin
And tossed the other aside
In the shadow of the past
I no longer shall hide
My courage I do own
And my heart I did give
With strength and with love
This new life I now live.
