Verse 1

My past is cutting me

without a knife

all the things that I’ve been through

they made me blind

But suddenly I realise it’s not against me

This brightest light I recognize

Pre-chorus

it’s coming right from within me

I need to let go off all the darkness

Chorus

And I accept myself as I am, as I have been and as I will be (I will be)

I’ll let the light shine through me and fill my life with new sense, there’s the new me, there’s the new me

Verse 2

it might just feel like death

when you start living free

from all the heaviness in your heart

it’s nice to feel that I have taken

the right turn now towards a better tomorrow for me

Pre-chorus

and I will appreciate this,

A lone star that I am is now reborn

Chorus

And I accept myself as I am, as I have been and as I will be (I will be)

I’ll let the light shine through me and fill my life with new sense, there’s the new me, there’s the new me

Bridge

it’s hard to start seeing life

in colours that are too bright

when your past was black and white

but I’ve been dead for too long

I’m ready to be reborn

alive and feeling strong

Chorus

And I accept myself as I am, as I have been and as I will be (I will be)

I’ll let the light shine through me and fill my life with new sense, there’s the new me, there’s the new me

Outro

let the light wash over me

show me there’s something more to be

walk into the light and see

that there’s nothing there to fear
